Bachelor of Science (BSc) majoring in Logic and Computation

Your BSc programme will consist of a number of courses worth 15 points each, totalling 360 points. 

You must complete the following courses plus a capstone course in your final year of study. The capstone course is a student-led project where you integrate and apply your learning to a real-world problem in your chosen major or specialisation. For Logic and Computation we recommend the capstone course, LOGICOMP 399. For other capstone options, see our Capstone courses page.

If you began your degree prior to 2019 we recommend you seek advice to make sure you are taking the correct courses.

Visit your online help and support centre, AskAuckland. 

If you choose to do a double major in your BSc, we recommend the following subjects to complement Logic and Computation: Computer Science, Information and Technology Management, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics.

Some students will feel more prepared for our Logic and Computation courses if they have already studied some science subjects in high school.

Find out which school subjects will help you feel prepared by reading our Subject guide for school students.
