School of Mathematics and Statistics

The formal rules for the various combined degrees between Engineering and Science (hence Mathematics, Statistics or Physical Oceanography) are at:

(It may be possible sometime in the future to combine Advanced Mathematics with Engineering.)

The bottom line for a Mathematics or Statistics major within the Science component in each of these degrees is roughly the following:

in ADDITION to the Science courses taken in the Engineering component an additional 60 units of credit of Science courses must be taken, 12 of these as a replacement for General Education, the other 48 as an extra year
include a Major in Mathematics or Statistics
include at least 24 units of credit of First Year Science
NOTE that COMP courses do not count as Science courses
NOTE that in all of these degrees, some of the MathsStats courses normally taken within the Engineering component, must be REPLACED by courses from the MathsStats major - see the information below or get advice from the School of Mathematics and Statistics on this - ug.MathsStats@unsw.edu.au.
NOTE that in some combined degrees, where not many units of credit are taken from Science within the ordinary Engineering degree, then extra Science units may be necessary in place of some Engineering electives - check with the Science Student Centre for details.
IN ALL CASES you should check with the Science Student Centre that what you plan meets the rules for the Science component of the Combined degree. The School of Mathematics and Statistics cannot make this decision.

Course replacements

Depending on which engineerings mathematics service course is prescribed in your engineering degree, you ought to make the following replacements if majoring in Maths, Stats or Physical Oceanography in the Science degree.

MATH2019 -- replace with MATH2011, MATH2120 and MATH2501 or higher versions
MATH2069 -- replace with MATH2011 and MATH2520 or higher versions
MATH2089 -- replace with MATH2301 and MATH2801 or higher versions
MATH2099 -- replace with MATH2501 and MATH2801 or higher versions

Note that if your science major requires only some of the replacement courses, you will need to do the others as well: for example, the stats major requires MATH2011 but not MATH2520, but if your engineering degree requires MATH2069 you will need to do both MATH2011 and MATH2520.
