BACS with Interdisciplinary Study

Description

The BACS with Interdisciplinary Study degree is intended for students who wish to supplement their studies of computer science with another discipline. The student must get permission from the School when selecting this other discipline. The idea is for the student to combine knowledge from both subjects in order to specialize in a way that they might not otherwise be able to. For example, if a student was interested in the technology used in medical operations they could take a BACS with Interdisciplinary Study degree to study biology and computer science.
