Where there is mention of Science courses, majors, minors and specialisations this refers to courses, majors, minors and specialisations that are offered or approved by the ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and the ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (see approved lists).

The Bachelor of Science component of this program requires the completion of 96 units of Science courses (see approved course list), of which,

A maximum of 36 units can come from the completion of 1000 level Science courses
A minimum of 36 units must come from the completion of 3000 level Science courses
12 units of 1000 level MATH or PHYS courses listed in the Engineering degree

The 96 units must include:

48 units from the completion of an approved Science major (see Science major list)
48 units from the completion of Science elective courses

A course can only ever be counted toward one major or minor.

Exception: A maximum of 12 units of 1000 level courses can count toward two majors that share common first year requirements.

Eligibility for a single degree prior to completion of combined program requirements
