Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science

Course Abbreviation	Campus	Duration	Prerequisites	2006 ENTER	Intake
BA/BSc	Clayton On-campus	4 years full-time, part-time available	VCE units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 25 in English (any), or Australian or international equivalent	91.50	February and July

• Well-established program that gives arts-oriented students a stronger technological or scientific base, while science-oriented students acquire greater communications skills
• This double degree gives graduates a competitive edge, enhancing career opportunities in both the arts and science areas, with the possibility of choosing from a diverse range of career pathways
• Provides an opportunity to combine studies within the very wide range of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and communications in combination with studies in a number of areas of science
• In the arts component of the course, students are encouraged to investigate and analyse the human world through the exploration of cultures, societies and institutions so that they may become flexible, well-informed graduates who are sophisticated communicators and analytical thinkers
• The science component aims to provide a broad, general science education with an emphasis on generic skills, which include competence in scientific inquiry and research, communication, critical thinking and analysis, problem solving, use of information technology for communication and scientific techniques, data handling, presentation skills and team work
• Graduates will also have specialist training in at least one arts and one science discipline, in preparation for honours and postgraduate study or for employment in any of the traditional careers for arts graduates or scientists

Course structure

Over four years of the degree students complete:

• A total of 32 units
• Four units each semester or eight units per year
• Sixteen units from arts
• Sixteen units from science
• Two science core units
• Two major areas of study - one from science, one from arts
• Two minor areas of study - one from science, one from arts
• These majors and minors must be taken from different areas of study
• Electives are taken from arts and science
• Students may be eligible to graduate with either a BA or a BSc after three years, depending on the units studied
