144 points must be completed to qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Computer Science, with the following conditions:

  • normally 48 points, and a maximum of 60 points, of first year level units will be counted;
  • at least 36 points must be completed at second year level
  • at least 36 points must be completed at third year level
  • 36 points of free electives.

Notes: (Approved variations)

* Students intending to complete a minor or major sequence in mathematics within the Faculty of Science should substitute another mathematics unit for MAT 1841, with approval.

* Students requiring other mathematics for a non-CS elective stream (eg Eng stream) may replace MAT1830/MAT1841 with approval.

+ Students transferring from other Faculty programs and students entering with advanced standing will be permitted the following course variation:

  • FIT1004 Database may be substituted for FIT2010 Database
  • FIT1005 Networks and data communications may be substituted for FIT2008 Networks and data communications
  • FIT2002 IT project management may be substituted for FIT3086 IT project management if completed in second year. One approved computer science elective must be at third-year level in this case.

# Students must take final Elective (6 points) as overload during 2nd year (recommended - see course map above) or Semester 2, 3rd year.
