Overview
The Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is a combined degree that integrates studies in mathematics and computing with immersion in another language and culture, enhancing professional training and career options. The course is designed to meet the increasing industry need for graduates with both computational and analytical skills. It offers the prospect of careers in fields which require a sound knowledge of computing together with the ability to analyse and model practical situations.
Demand for mathematics and computing skills is increasing as quantitative analysis becomes more widespread in dealing with commercial and industrial problems. There is also a growing need for teachers with skills in computing as well as mathematics, and graduates of this course are well qualified to fill this role. Employment opportunities are enhanced by the international experience of studying and living overseas.
Career options
Career options include programmer, quantitative analyst, software engineer, systems analyst and technical applications software developer. Teachers with qualifications in this field are highly sought after. Graduates of this course can expect to gain employment in a range of companies and industries that rely on IT and computational techniques, including banks, finance, insurance, logistics and transport, and manufacturing.
Admission requirements
Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.
Admission to the combined degree is on merit according to the admissions policy for the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing (C10158). There are no prior language requirements. There is a range of entry levels to the various language and culture programs. Students are admitted to the international studies program with no guarantee of entry to a specific major, although every effort is made to meet students' preferences.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 176-184
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Course duration and attendance
The combined degree is offered only on a full-time basis over five years. Students spend two sessions of study at a university or other higher education institution in the country of their major.
Course structure
Students are required to complete 240 credit points of study, comprising 144 credit points in mathematics and computing and 96 credit points in international studies. The mathematics and computing component consists of an integrated sequence of subjects in the mathematical sciences and information technology. The international studies component requires students to study a region or country major over a minimum of three years. The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is not offered as a separate degree, but is completed only in combination with the professional degree program.
Graduation from the mathematics and computing component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree. Students wishing to graduate with a Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing prior to completion of the international studies component of the combined degree must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing (C10158) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.
Overseas study
Students spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.
