B2008 Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Computer Science

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Commerce

B2001 Bachelor of Commerce is a comprehensive course, structured in four parts. In this double degree course you complete:

Part A. Core studies

This will provide you with a broad foundation for your study of commerce and expose you to several commerce disciplines. This will contribute breadth to your knowledge of commerce and address the graduate course outcomes. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.

Part B. Major studies

This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study.

Part C. Capstone studies

This is designed to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the study of your course.

Computer science

C2001 Bachelor of Computer Science is a specialist course that develops through the themes of computer science foundation study, professional skills study, specialist discipline knowledge, problem solving and analytic skills study, and professional skills study which come together in applied practice. In this double degree course you complete:

Part A. Foundation studies

This study will develop your understanding of the role and theoretical basis of computer science and computational methods.

Part B. Professional practice studies

This study develops professional skills by providing an understanding and appreciation of the ethical and professional guidelines applicable to computer science; developing the ability to work as an effective team member; developing the ability to communicate proficiently and appropriately for professional practice; and developing formal project management skills.

Part C. Specialist studies
This study will develop your in-depth knowledge of the specific computer science methods of your specialised field within computer science. You will also develop your ability to apply appropriate methodologies in computer science and develop efficient computational solutions, strong problem-solving skills and the ability to apply analytical thinking.

Part D. Applied studies

This study will develop your ability to apply appropriate methodologies in computer science and develop efficient computational solutions. It develops strong problem solving skills and the ability to apply analytical thinking.

Course progression map

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

You must complete 192 credit points of which 96 credit points are from the Bachelor of Commerce (including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B, and Part C for the single degree) and 96 credit points from the Bachelor of Computer Science (including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D for the single degree.)

In this double degree you will complete one major in the Bachelor of Commerce (B2001) and a specialisation in the Bachelor of Computer Science (C2001). Where you have space in your degree you may complete an additional major. Some majors, minors and specialisations include the same units. Where this occurs, up to 12 credit points may be shared between:

• two majors; or

• a major and a minor; or

• a specialisation and a major or minor.

Note: Units can only count toward one minor. They cannot be shared across multiple minors.

Units are 6 credit points unless otherwise specified.

Commerce component (96 credit points) 

You must complete 96 credit points, including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B and Part C for the Bachelor of Commerce.

Note: If you are completing the Accounting major as part of this double degree, ECX2953 is required to meet professional accreditation requirements. You can complete ECX2953 in Part A instead of ECC1000, and you will not be required to complete ECC1100.

Computer science component (96 credit points)

You must complete 96 credit points, including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D for the Bachelor of Computer Science.
