About this degree

• The degree is made of up compulsory requirements, additional computing electives,  and 48 units (eight courses) of electives
• In the single degree you have 48 units of university electives (eight courses).  These courses can be used to study more computing courses, or a major or minor from another area of the university including Engineering, or a selection of courses that suits your interests. 
• In the Flexible Double Degree, you have no university electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these.

Enrolment Status

While it’s possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. There are maximum time limits for completion of the degree on a part-time basis. If you are an international student you must always be full-time.

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

• When you enrol for the first time you will typically study '1000-level' courses. These courses have '1' as the first number in their course code, such as COMP1100.
• You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester though note that you can change your Semester 2 courses all the way until July.
• You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, 48u for the year, and international students cannot study less than 24u a semester expect in exceptional circumstances and with approval.
• You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your BAC half of the Flexible Double Degree.
• In choosing your first year programming courses you will have a choice of doing COMP1100 or COMP1130 in Semester 1, and COMP1110 and COMP1140 in Semester 2. The standard courses are COMP1100/1110 but if you have a strong maths background, and/or significant programming experience, you might like to choose COMP1130/1140. Note that you choose 1130 you will be able to drop back to 1100 in the first 2 weeks.
• You should make sure you do MATH1005 and COMP1600 in your first year.

Majors and Minors

See available majors and minors for this program

You will be required to complete a 24-unit specialisation as a compulsory part of your program. This can be declared via ISIS in your second or third year. When planning your Specialisation check the pre-requisites for courses to ensure you can complete all the required courses. o Artificial Intelligence o Human-Centred and Creative Computing o Machine Learning o Systems and Architecture o Theoretical Computer Science

You can also choose to complete a Computing Major (48-units) if you use your elective space. If you plan to complete a major please check with the College Student Services about how to plan your degree before enrolling in your second year subjects.

COMS-MAJ Computer Systems

CSEC-MAJ Cyber Security

HCCC-MAJ Human-Centred and Creative Computing

INFS-MAJ Information Systems

Follow the steps here: Declaring majors, minors & specialisations to declare your Specialisation and any majors you wish to take, noting the dates this can be done. You do not need to declare your Specialisation until your second or third year but note that you need to plan to complete the required courses to meet their requirements.

Electives

If you are in the single degree then in your first year you have two computing electives and two university electives to choose.

• To find 1000-level (first year) elective courses, use the catalogue search.
• University electives can be additional computing courses, or courses from anywhere in the university.
• Courses that can be taken in first year as computing or other electives are: COMP2620 and COMP2400 . Students should consider these in light of their performance in thier first semester computing and maths courses and take them only if they have performed well.
• If you enjoy and are good at  mathematics and do not plan to do a major from another area of study, then you are encouraged to consider doing the following:
• Semester 1: MATH1013 Maths and Applications 1, or MATH1115 Maths and Applications 1 (Hons) (only recommended for outstanding maths students)
• Semester 2: MATH1014 Maths and Applications 2, or MATH1116 Maths and Applications 2 (Hons) (only recommended for outstanding maths students)

• Suggested university electives in your first year if you are interested in Engineering are: Semester 1 - PHYS1001 or PHYS1101  and Semester 2 – ENGN1218
• Suggested university electives if you are interested in Information Systems are Semester 1 or 2: INFS1001
• If you have an interest in another area (eg management, mathematics, psychology, languages) then you should explore first year courses in these areas and in particular, look at the majors and minors in these areas. These will give you an idea of the first year courses that you should study.
• Transdisciplinary (TD) Courses can be found on P&C. By following your degree rules you will meet your TD program requirement.
