Programme structure
The BCom/BSc usually takes four years to complete.
You will need to complete a total of 540 points, consisting of:
- 255 points from BCom courses
- 255 points from BSc courses
- 15 points from a Waipapa Taumata Rau core course
- 15 points from a General Education course
In your first year, you will need to enrol in one Waipapa Taumata Rau core course, either WTRBUS 100 or WTRSCI 100.
You can choose one major for the BCom component of your conjoint degree, and you would normally take four or five BCom courses each year.
There are eight compulsory courses in the BCom component of the conjoint: six Stage I and one Stage II core courses, and one capstone course. Stage I core courses are to be prioritised before enrolling in major courses. If you choose two majors for the BCom component, you may exceed 255pts and prolong your degree completion.
You can find a degree planner for the BCom/BSc conjoint degree under Degree planning.
Your enrolment for the BSc side of the conjoint will depend on your chosen major(s). You may choose either a single major or a double major in Science. The following Science majors are not available in conjoint programmes: Biomedical Science, Data Science, Food Science and Nutrition, Green Chemical Science, Medicinal Chemistry and Quantitative Statistics. Information Systems can only be taken on the BCom side of your conjoint degree. Find out more about planning your BSc conjoint, and access conjoint degree planners via a Student Hub.
Most students enrol in nine 15-point courses (135 points) each year if they want to complete in four years.
You will also need to maintain a Grade Point Average of at least 3.5 each year to continue with your conjoint.
Most students need to take one General Education course.
