No new applications will be accepted for the Bachelor of Applied Science from 2024.
Most of the major subject options for the BAppSc will still be offered at Otago. Please visit the individual major subject pages for information about study options.
Subjects
For a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAppSc) degree you must major in at least one of the following subjects:
a minor or second major subject not listed above, or
a selection of papers worth at least 90 points, including at least 18 points at 300-level and at least 54 points above 100-level, provided that the overall combination of subjects and papers constitutes a coherent and integrated programme of study.
No paper may count for both a major and a minor subject requirement or for more than one minor subject requirement unless that paper is at 100- or 200-level and is specified as compulsory for both requirements.
No paper above 200-level may count for more than one major subject requirement.
Duration of the Programme
The programme may be taken by full-time candidates in three years.
Prerequisites, Corequisites and Restrictions
Every programme of study shall satisfy the requirements for prerequisites, corequisites, and restrictions set out in the Prescriptions (published in the Guide to Enrolment).
With the approval of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Sciences) a candidate may enrol for a paper at 200-level without having satisfied the normal prerequisites. In such cases the candidate shall not be credited with the prerequisite papers. A candidate may not, having passed any such paper at 200-level, enrol subsequently for any prerequisite paper from which exemption has been given.
Cross Credits
Cross credits between two programmes are governed by the Cross Credit provisions of the General Regulations.
Variations
The Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Sciences) may in exceptional circumstances approve a course of study which does not comply with these regulations.
