• Note that if you are commencing in July you should follow the Second semester starter Study Options below and consider contacting StudentAdmin.CECS@anu.edu.au or attending an enrolment advice session at the university to discuss your complete study plan as you will not be able to match the full Semester 1 starter program within 4 years.

Advice on choice of first year programming courses

•  You will have a choice of enrolling in COMP1100 or COMP1130, and a choice of enrolling in COMP1110 or COMP1140. The standard choices of these courses are COMP1100 and COMP1110. But if you have a strong Maths background, and/or significant programming experience, you might like to choose the advanced version of the courses COMP1130 and COMP1140. Note that if you choose COMP1130 you will be able to drop back to COMP1100 in the first 2 weeks if needed.

Advice on choice of first year mathematics courses

• If you are not confident in your Maths ability, particularly calculus, consider taking MATH1003 as a university elective in first year and then completing MATH1013 in a following semester.  
  
• The standard choice is MATH1013. Students who excel in Maths, have done the highest level of Maths available to them at school and meet the pre-requisite may choose to enrol in the advanced version MATH1115 in place of MATH1013.
