Require: 144cp total; maximum 84cp Junior units; minimum 36cp LS units (including ATHK1001, WRIT1001 and 6cp from the Ethics area); minimum one Science major (Table A); minimum 36cp Arts and Social Sciences Table A units (including at least 12cp Senior Arts and Social Sciences); maximum 12cp from outside Arts and Social Sciences Table A and Science Table A.

NB: Units chosen to satisfy the liberal studies requirement cannot count towards the Science or Arts and Social Sciences requirements.


NB: *An additional 12cp of PSYC (= 60cp of PSYC in total) is equivalent to a Psychology Program. Whereas a Psychological Science major (48 Credit points), does not provide BLAS students with a pathway towards professional accreditation and/or APAC accreditation, the Psychology Program (60 Credit points), does provide BLAS students with a pathway towards honours and professional accreditation and/or APAC accreditation.
