Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00102E
The Bachelor of Computer Science - Bachelor of Mathematics double degree offers an opportunity to combine the power of mathematics with knowledge bases in other disciplines. Pure Maths, Mathematical Analysis, Applied Statistics, and Industrial Maths are some of the programs that can be combined with Computer Science. This integrated double degree provides a broad education which is the foundation for career success, and also allows in-depth study of at least two academic disciplines. UOW double degrees aim to broaden a student's knowledge and skill base and improve career options in competitive, increasingly interactive fields. The programs are designed to enhance a student's educational, academic and professional qualifications whilst minimising the costs of their studies.

Standard entry requirements
- ATAR-BASED ADMISSION OPTIONS Entry to this course can be gained with: Minimum ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank)
- International Baccalaureate (IB)
- Interstate equivalent (such as Victoria’s ENTER or Queensland OP)
- Results in an overseas qualification deemed equivalent to Australian year 12. The minimum score for guaranteed entry (or for consideration if this course has limited places) is an ATAR-Selection Rank of 75 or an IB of 26. This includes the effect of adjustment factors. Adjustment factors, such as the subjects you are studying, the area in which you live or equity and access schemes, are taken into consideration and these will be combined with your ATAR to adjust your selection rank and make it higher than your ATAR. COURSE PREREQUISITE You must have completed Mathematics Advanced or equivalent (not Mathematics standard 2) or higher at Year 12 level. ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE AND RECOMMENDED STUDIES The University assumes students will have studied Mathematics Advanced and any two units of English. Ideally, students will have studied Mathematics Extension 1. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia.
Recognition
The Bachelor of Computer Science is accredited by the Australian Computer Society as meeting requirements for membership at the "Professional level".
