After the first four periods of enrolment students must achieve a minimum 75% Weighted Average Mark in Computing courses. Students who do not achieve a minimum 75% Weighted Average Mark will be transferred to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours).


To continue into the final year of the program students must have completed 144 units and achieved a minimum 80% Weighted Average Mark calculated from the courses that contribute to the final Honours grade calculation. Students who do not achieve this 80% Weighted Average Mark will be automatically transferred to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours) degree. 


To graduate with the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) students must achieve a minimum 80% final Honours mark. Students who do not achieve a minimum 80% final Honours mark will be transferred to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours) degree program prior to graduating.


Honours Calculation

COMP4801 Final Honours Grade will be used to record the Class of Honours and the Mark. The Honours Mark will be a weighted average percentage mark (APM) calculated by first calculating the average mark for 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 level courses. We denote these averages: A1, A2, A3, and A4 respectively. The averages are calculated based on all courses completed (including fails), that are listed in the program requirements, excluding non-COMP-coded electives, giving NCN and WN a nominal mark of zero. Finally, these averages are combined using the formula APM = (0.1 X A1) + (0.2 X A2) + (0.3 X A3) + (0.4 X A4).

 

The APM will then be used to determine the final grade according to the ANU Honours grading scale, found at http://www.anu.edu.au/students/program-administration/assessments-exams/grading-scale.

If your flexible double degree is within the College of Business and Economics (for example, Commerce and Economics), the below 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.

The minor in Business and Economics Essentials will not be listed on transcripts for students completing the Bachelor of Commerce. The minor in Advanced Accounting will not be listed on transcripts for students completing the Bachelor of Commerce with an Accounting major.

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.

Honours

Students who achieve excellent academic performance in their Bachelor of Commerce studies may be invited to join the Honours Program.

The Honours Program is an intensive two-semester program after completion of the degree requirements. The program extends undergraduate studies with advanced coursework and a research thesis. Classes are small and students study with leading academics in their School. Students have the opportunity to compete for a range of scholarships, prizes and internships.

Students from other universities who meet the entry requirements can apply for entry into the Honours Program after completing the pass degree requirements in their own institutions.

Students aspiring to the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) should consult the Honours Convenor in the relevant School for advice.

Back to the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) page

The Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research & Development) AACRD can be taken as a part of many double degrees. In a double degree you may not be able to complete a major in a computing discipline depending on your other degree. For help on planning your double degree follow the advice on the College Student Services Website.

Single degree

  • The single degree offers 60 units (ten courses) of electives that can be taken from additional computing courses enabling you to complete a Computing major, minor, or additional specialisation), or a major or minor from another College.

  • There are 12 units of elective courses in the degree that can be used to meet your Transdisciplinary Problem-Solving (TD) requirements with any ANU TD tagged courses (including COMP). By following your degree rules you will meet your TD program requirements.

Double degree

  •  The Double degree allows 12 units of electives to allow you to explore subjects across ANU.
  • There are 12 units of elective courses in the degree that can be used to meet your 12 units 
  • Transdisciplinary Problem-Solving requirements across the Double degree. By following your degree rules you will meet your TD program requirements. · 
  • 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, Computing electives, research and development projects, and University electives.
  • You can choose to complete one, or more, of the AACOM Specialisations, BCOMP majors or HCCC Minor using your computing and University electives. Talk to the College Student Services about how to plan your degree to include any of these options after your first semester.

24-unit Specialisations:

 § Artificial Intelligence 

§ Human-Centred and Creative Computing 

§ Machine Learning § Systems and Architecture 

§ Theoretical Computer Science


48-unit Majors

§ COMS-MAJ Computer systems

§ CSEC-MAJ Cyber Security

§ HCCC-MAJ Human-Centred and Creative Computing

§ INFS-MAJ Information Systems

§ INSY-MAJ Intelligent Systems

Follow the steps here: Declaring majors, minors & specialisations to declare your Specialisation and any majors you wish to take, noting the dates this can be done. You do not need to declare any majors or Specialisations until your second or third year but note that you need to plan to complete the required courses to meet their requirements.

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 student, you must always be full-time.

· You cannot study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year without permission

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

  •  
  • Students doing double degrees with business degrees do STAT1008 in place of STAT1003 and take an additional Computing elective.
  • 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.
