About this degree
Credit/Exemptions
- Students with a Bachelor degree or Graduate Diploma that includes programming or maths may be able to obtain exemption or credit for some of the introductory courses included in the core. Note: applying for status is essentially a statement that if you were to take the ANU exam for that introductory course, you would achieve 60% or greater.
Instructions on how to apply for credit/exemptions can be found here. Please note the additional requirements that apply to COMP6250 Professional Practice 1, located at the bottom of that page.
Please include a description to map the content and learning outcome of courses students have taken in their former universities to the one in ANU for the credit application.
Any awarded course credit counts towards the unit requirements of your program and may shorten the length of your degree. If the duration of your degree is shortened, international students electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) will be revised to reflect the new end date of the degree. This may have implications on your visa conditions. Students are advised to contact the Department of Home affairs for more information.
Courses for which you receive an exemption are to be replaced by elective COMP courses.
Enrolment Status
Typically students will enrol in 24 units per semester (four courses): a full-time load.
Domestic students may enrol in fewer courses each semester, known as part-time study. Part-time study will extend the duration of the degree and there are limitations to how long you can take to complete the degree.
International students must always study full-time
ยท Before selecting what courses to enrol in, you should read the CECC advice on enrolling and check the Computing Course Substitutions webpage.
Electives
You should read the appropriate enrolment patterns mentioned below to see how many electives you may choose and where they fit in your program.
When choosing elective courses, check the course listing on Programs and Courses to ensure that you have the required and assumed knowledge before enrolling. If you don't, consider changing your planned enrolment to make sure you take the pre-requisite course.

Academic Advice
Important things to keep in mind when planning your enrolment
You need to enrol in courses for both First and Second Semester (you can change your Semester 2 courses all the way until July.)

- MMLCV students should enrol in either COMP6250 Professional Practice: Holistic Thinking and Communication or COMP8260 Professional Practice: Responsible Innovation and Leadership in their first semester so they are able to enrol in COMP8715 in their final year.
Students planning on doing a research project (COMP8800) must enrol in COMP6445 Computing Research Methods in their first year (it is only offered in Semester 1).
Students planning on completing an Internship (COMP8830) or TechLauncher Team Project (COMP8715) should complete COMP6442 Software construction in their first year (it runs both semesters).
