► 114 credit points of Aeronautical (Space) stream core units

► 6 credit points of Aeronautical (Space) stream core extension units

Science (ˆ84 credit points)

► *12 credit points of Science degree core units (12 cp of MATH1XXX in Engineering Core meets this requirement)

► *48 credit points of Table A major

► 6 credit points of OLE units

► 18 credit points of electives from Science Table A or Table S

* The Science degree core units comprise 12 cp of MATH1XXX units and 12cp of 1000-level units from Table A. The 1000-level units from the Table A major count towards Science degree core requirement. If you are taking a Mathematics major, you must complete 12 cp of other 1000-level Science Table A units.

ˆ With Math units taken as part of the Engineering component, students enrol in 72 cp of Science units in total.
