The degrees (awards) offered by Macquarie University are set out in the University Undergraduate Studies Handbook. Students choose programs of study within each degree.

In other cases the UAC course code indicates a program of study which is not part of the title of the award, eg, 300546 B Science in Physics describes a program of study for which the award is the BSc.
