The Bachelor of Mathematics was revised in 2016 and changes to the program were implemented for 2017.  STAT1070 was removed from the core and added as a compulsory course to the Studies in Mathematics and Statistics major and the Statistics major.  STAT2010 was removed from the Statistics major and the Studies in Mathematics and Statistics major and added to the core.  Students who commenced the combined program prior to 2017 who have not yet successfully completed STAT1070 can choose to take either STAT1070 or STAT2010 as core in their program.

The Bachelor of Computer Science was revised in 2016 and changes to the program were implemented for 2017.  The majors were discontinued and replaced with a new suite of majors, including Data Science and Computer Systems and Robotics.  Students may choose to remain in the pre-2017 program structure, or to transition to the post-2017 program structure.  Students in the combined degree program are advised to contact their Program Advisor for individual transition arrangements.

2016:ﾠ The program was revised in 2015, for implementation Semester 1 2016.ﾠ MATH1800 was removed from the core of the combined program.ﾠ Continuing students who have successfully completed MATH1800 are advised to contact the relevant Program Advisor for independent enrolment advice.

B Mathematics:  The program was revised in 2013, and changes to the degree were implemented for 2014.  Students who commenced the program in 2013 will be automatically transitioned to the revised 2014 structure, unless they advise the relevant Program Advisor in writing of their intention to remain in the pre-2014 structure.  Students who commenced the program prior to 2013 are strongly encouraged to transition to the revised 2014 structure if their pattern of enrolment allows them to do so.  All students are encouraged to seek independent transition and enrolment advice from the Program Advisor.

B Computer Science:  Students who commenced the program prior to 2013 can remain in the previous program structure, unless they elect to transition to the 2013 revised program structure.  Pre-2013 students must indicate their intention to transition to the 2013 revised program structure to the relevant Program Advisor.  Students are encouraged to seek advice on their chosen program of study with the relevant Program Advisor.

An Honours year is available to students as a separate program in the form of an additional year to those who meet the entry requirements.
