Should two MATH courses be chosen, the elective course position would need to be used for the additional MATH course.
In the requirements of the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies above it is not possible to gain full exemptions from Actuaries Institute Part I requirements as the required FINM courses are not included. However, by including these FINM courses in the other flexible double degree (if the FINM courses meet the requirements of the other degree), or overloading (i.e., taking more than the standard four courses in some semesters on non-award basis which means you will need to pay full fees for the courses you are overloading) or by using the College of Business and Economics Summer School Program (if available), students may be able to complete their exemptions from Part I. To facilitate either of these options, it is recommended that students undertake FINM1001 Foundations of Finance as their elective course.
If your flexible double degree is within the College of Business and Economics (for example Commerce and Economics), the suggested study plan may show the same course twice. If this is the case, you must only do the course once and replace the other course with a University Wide Elective or CBE List 1 course. Please note that you cannot exceed 8 out of college electives.
The minor in Business and Economics Essentials will not be listed on transcripts for students completing the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies.
For majors and minors offered by the ANU College of Business and Economics, students may count a course towards multiple majors and minors. If a minor is a subset of all stated courses and/or prerequisites for a major, then completion of the major overrides completion of the minor, and only the major is regarded as having been completed. If all courses in a major and/or minor are compulsory courses in the degree, the major and/or minor will not be listed on the transcript.

Back to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) page
As a high-achieving student in the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research & Development) (Honours) (BAC(R&D)) degree you have chosen a unique degree. You will study to become an innovator and a future leader of the ICT revolution by undertaking research with some of the world's leading researchers. You will undertake an accelarated mode of learning, develop a strong foundation in core computer science and be provided with the tools to develop the next generation of computing applications.
The BAC can be taken as a single degree which inlcudes a number of core and compulsory courses. The single degree also offers 48 units (eight courses) of electives that can be taken from additional computing courses (enabling you to complete a Computing major, minor, or specialisation), or from other university courses.
The BAC(R&D) can also be taken as a part of many double degrees. You may not be able to complete a major in a computing discipline but a minor might be possible. You will be able to specialise in other areas as part of the ‘other half’ of your double degree.Single degree
- This degree requires 192 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units)
Double degree
- This degree requires 144 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units)
- You will complete a Research and Development major (48 units)
- There are no university electives in the double degree
- You can find your double degree with BAC(R&D) from Program and Courses
About this degree
- Typically you will study 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a
full time student giving you a total of 24 courses across your whole
degree.
- The degree comprises compulsory requirements, additional computing electives, research and development projects, internship and electives in the single degree.
- There are no electives in the double degree but you still may be able to study a computing specialisation (24 units).
- In your first year in the double degree, MATH1115 and MATH1116 must be taken as part of the other half of your degree unless otherwise specified.
Enrolment Status
While it is possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is
called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your
program and get your degree. If you are an international study you must
always be full-time.
Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses
- IF YOU ARE COMMENCING IN JULY YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO <studentadmin.cecs@anu.edu.au> FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR ENROLMENT OR YOU SHOULD ATTEND AN ENROLMENT ADVICE SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE WEEK BEFORE SEMESTER COMMENCES.
- As the BAC(R&D) is an advanced degree, you will study both first and second year courses in your first year. First year courses are typically '1000-level' courses ie start with '1' while second year courses typically start with '2'.
- Students doing double degrees with business degrees do STAT1008 in place of STAT1003 and take an additional Computing elective.
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester
- You can't study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year
- You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your BAC(R&D) half of the double degree.
