Completion of a stream is not a requirement of the course.

Candidates in this combined degree program will be under the general supervision of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for the duration of the combined degree course.

The Deans of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science shall jointly exercise authority in any matter concerned with the combined course not otherwise dealt with in these resolutions.

Admission to this course is on the basis of a secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents), tertiary study or an approved preparation program. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English. Admission standards set by regulatory bodies, accrediting agencies and government for teacher education must also be met. Special admission pathways are open for mature aged applicants who do not possess a school leaving qualification, educationally disadvantaged applicants and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Applicants are ranked by merit and offers for available places are issued according to the ranking. Details of
admission policies are found in the Coursework Policy.

Admission to the Dalyell stream requires achievement of a minimum tertiary admission rank (ATAR) or equivalent set by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies.
