Combined Program in Software Engineering and Science
Example BE SE BSc Genetics Program
Revised: January 14, 2009
Program Revision The SE program was revised in 2004 and 2006. First year computing (COMP) courses were revised in 2007. Revision has less effect than most students expect. The general principle is that revision is not intended to be retrospective. | UAC code |

Understanding the BE SE BSc Genetics Program
Programs are usually listed in the handbook as sequence of stages, or years. The BE SE BSc Genetics program will be listed that way a little later, but it is perhaps easier to understand the requirements for the program in terms of core requirements and elective requirements as shown in the following table.
Notes:
- Genetics requires BEES2041/MATH2801, which therefore replaces MATH2859.
- must include BIOC3121 or MICR3021.

Staged Program
Possible stages of the combined program are shown below. Courses may be arranged in any suitable order, subject to satisfaction of prerequisites and corequisites. It makes some sense to take the courses shown in stages 1&2 in the first two years. Of course, some arrangements may produce timetable conflicts.
All programs should be approved by the Faculty of Science and the School of Biological Sciences.

Notes
- The 8 options (48 uoc) for stages 3 and 4 are chosen from a list that includes all third and fourth stage COMP, INFS courses and some MATH courses. See SE electives.
- SE electives are nominally 48 uoc, but because Project Management changed from 3uoc to 6uoc we have had to take 3uoc out of the SE electives. In practice it may not be easy to choose 45uoc of SE electives, so it may have to be 48uoc.
- The chosen courses must form a major sequence of 42 units at stages 2 and 3.
- To satisfy prerequisites it may be necessary to use a different arrangement of courses than shown above.
