Double Degree CS Maths Cohort 2020/2021
Students may pursue either a double honours or a single honours programme. Briefly, students pursuing one of the specialisations must obtain at least 32 units (for double honours programme) or 28 units (for single honours programme) from courses offered under the respective specialisation. Furthermore, students pursuing a double honours programme with specialisation must complete an integrated honours project, which will be jointly supervised by faculty members from the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics.
Students pursuing double honours degree without specialisation can choose to undertake either:
– One integrated honours project or
– One Mathematics honours year project and one Computing honours year project or
– Industrial Experience Experience Requirement (12 units) and one Mathematics honours project.
(A) BComp (Hons) – BSc (Hons) Double Honours Programmes
The double honours programme requires students to take a total of 208 units for both 208 units for B.Comp. (Hons.) — B.Sc. (Hons.) (Math.) and B.Comp. (Hons.) — B.Sc. (Hons.) (Appl.Math.) degrees.
These programmes consist of the following:
a. Bachelor of Computing – Honours in Computer Science (128 units)
BComp students normally take 160 units to fulfil the University Level Requirements (ULR), Programme requirements, and Unrestricted Electives. Under this programme, 32 units would be waived under double degree rules. The 32 units will come from the Unrestricted Electives.
b. Bachelor of Science – Honours in Mathematics (124 units)
BSc students in the four-year BSc degree programme normally take 160 units to fulfil the University Level Requirements (ULR), Faculty and Major Requirements, and Unrestricted Electives. Under this programme, 28 units would be waived under double degree rules. The 28 units will come from the Unrestricted Electives.
c. Bachelor of Science – Honours in Applied Mathematics (124 units)
BSc students in the four-year BSc degree programme normally take 160 units to fulfil the University Level Requirements (ULR), Faculty and Major Requirements, and Unrestricted Electives. Under this programme, 28 units would be waived under double degree rules. The 28 units will come from the Unrestricted Electives.
