This advice is for students commencing in 2012. Students who commenced earlier should consult the UNSW handbook for the year they commenced and/or contact the CSE Student Office to discuss their enrolment.
Students who are unsure about how the program revision will affect them should contact the CSE Student Office (undergrad at cse . unsw . edu . au) OR the Software Engineering Program Director - A/Prof Ken Robinson (kenr at cse . unsw . edu . au).
Program Structure
The Software Engineering/BA plan is the same as the standard Software Engineering program, except that:
Students also complete a Bachelor of Arts comprised of 96UOC; including a stream approved by the Faculty of Arts and Arts Electives.
To complete the program in the shortest duration (240UOC) students will need to count the 24UOC of overlapping mathematics courses completed in the BE towards the BA.
Students are exempted from General Education requirements (12 UOC).
Students are exempted from Free Elective requirements (12UOC).
Course scheduling is different, because of the need to interleave Arts courses with Software Engineering courses.
A Credit average must be maintained (or reversion to the standard Software Engineering plan will be required).
