Have a look at a brief overview of these degrees.
The degrees above can be combined with various other degrees - the Bachelor
of Commerce, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of
Arts or the Bachelor of Laws. All combined degrees are of 5 years duration
except for the Bachelor of Engineering with Bachelor of Laws which is 6 years.
Possible combinations are shown in the table:

Elecronic Commerce is shown here only for the reference to the students who are already in this degree. This degree was taken off our books in 2007, i.e. no new students can enrol in this degree. If you wish to complete the BE and BSc over 5 years, there is an alternative to the combined degree.
All units of study (subjects) at the University of Sydney have a credit point
value. The normal year's enrolment consists of 48 credit points (24 per semester).
The requirements for the degree programs here are expressed in terms of core
(mandatory) units, recommended units and (free) electives.
