Program Overview
The BSc(Computer Science) BDM combined program provides both a technical and creative foundation to the development and use of computer graphics. It also allows specialisation in the final semester in either the technical or creative strand of computer graphics and associated fields.
The stages of a generic combined program are shown below.
Program Structure
Each course runs for 12 weeks during session one (S1) or session 2 (S2). UOC denotes Units of Credit, a measure of the amount of work required in a course.

2008 Note: MATH2400 is now offered in semester 1 only. Students may choose to complete this requirement in one of the following ways until a better arrangement can be made:
- Add MATH2400 to your semester one 2009 load - this will mean you take 21 units of credit in semester two 2008, and 27 units of credit in semester 1, 2009; OR
- Substitute MATH2400 in semester two 2008 with MATH1231; OR
- Substitute both MATH2400 and MATH2859 with MATH3411. Note that the pre-req for MATH3411 is MATH1081.
Please also note that 3982 students have permission from the School of Maths to use MATH1131 or MATH1141 as a pre-req substitution for enrolment into MATH2589.
Enrolment should be possible via myUNSW without assistance. However, if you do experience any difficulties please contact the CSE Student Office for assistance.

Note i: The above staging of the program represents one possible sequence of courses. The staging of the courses may be modified, subject to prerequisites and timetabling.
Note ii: As with any combined program, timetabling and scheduling of courses may be problematic.
Honours
Honours can be undertaken in this program. Honours will be determined by a further year of full-time study (or its part-time equivalent) consisting of the Honours requirements for either the BSc in Computer Science or the BDM.
Normally, students are expected to have attained an average mark of 65 (according to myUNSW) to qualify for entry to the Honours year. Students who do not meet this expectation may be admitted in special circumstances. Students who have graduated with a three-year computer science degree from UNSW or another university can apply for admission to Honours. Application forms are available from the CSE Student Office in K17 G01. Detailed information about the program is available at the Honours website at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs4914/
