The Bachelor of Arts and Science requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). Students are required to complete two major sequences - one in arts and one in science. Students who wish to complete two majors in either arts or sciences should transfer to the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science respectively.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
The Bachelor of Arts and Science provides students with the broadest range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies from across the University. Majors can be taken within the Colleges of: Education, Psychology and Social Work; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences; Science and Engineering; and Business, Government and Law.
The course aims to provide students with:
At the conclusion of the three-year Bachelor of Arts and Science degree students will have:

Within their fields of study students will have developed:
To qualify for the Bachelor of Arts and Science, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic.
The 108 units must includes a minimum:
*Students choosing the BSc Geography major cannot undertake the BA Geography and Environmental Studies major.
No more than 45 units of First Year level topics may be included in the 108 units for the degree.
36 units comprising:
COMS1001 Academic and Professional Communication (4.5 units) (See note 1)
NMCY1001 Academic and Professional Numeracy (4.5 units) (See note 2)

Notes
1. Under certain conditions COMS1001 may be replaced with an alternative topic. See the topic information for COMS1001 for further details.
2. Students should be aware that certain science major sequences require or assume a higher level of mathematics than that covered by NMCY1001. NMCY1001 may therefore be replaced with any of the following topics as appropriate:
MATH1121 Mathematics 1A
MATH1701 Mathematics Fundamentals A
PSYC1106 Research Methods 1
Students who have completed SACE Mathematical Studies or SACE Specialist Mathematics (or IB equivalent topics) may choose an alternative topic.
3. Some science majors require specific additional first year topics to progress to later year topics. Please consult the selected major for advice.
4. Any topics offered by the University may be chosen to complete the 108 units, provided course and prerequisite requirements are met. In choosing topics, students must pay attention to the assumed knowledge requirements specified for those topics and the requirements of later year topics.
5. The Psychology major requires that this topic be chosen from PSYC2019 and PSYC2021. This choice affects the available Year 3 topics. Please consult with Psychology for advice.
6. For students completing the Psychology major, STEM3001 will be replaced by PSYC3007.
