Note: Entry into the Honours pathway is via application. Admission to the program requires a WAM of at least 65 and completion of at least one Table A major.

To be eligible for the award of Honours in the Bachelor of Advanced Computing, a candidate must complete the Honours pathway comprising 24 credit points of research-related units and meet the performance levels as specified in clause 10 of the degree resolutions.

More information can be found here: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/15961/pages/honours

Students in the Honours pathway take INFO4911, INFO4912 and INFO4913 in place of 18cp of 4000+ level electives, and INFO4990 in place of INFO4444.

Note: The completion of a minor is optional.

Software Development minor

A minor in Software development requires 36 credit points from this table including:

(i) 12 credit points of 1000-level core units

(ii) 18 credit points of 2000-level core units

(iii) 6 credit points of 3000-level selective (minor only) units. The selective units (minor only) are: INFO3315 and SOFT3202

Note: The completion of a second major is optional.

Software Development major

Achievement of a major in Software Development requires 48 credit points from this table including:

(i) 12 credit points of 1000-level core units

(ii) 18 credit points of 2000-level core units

(iii) 18 credit points of 3000-level core (major only) units. The Core units (major only) are INFO3315, SOFT3202 and SOFT3888.

NOTE:Overlapping major selective units only count towards your first selected major.

Note: Units that are core for both the Bachelor of Advanced Computing and any major contribute towards both requirements, however, they count only once towards your credit points. You will need to take an additional elective to make up the credit point requirements of your degree.

From 2025, the requirement for Core units has been amended from 96cp to 84cp. INFO4001 and INFO4002 will count as Advanced (Higher) 4000+ Electives.

Note: Achievement of a major in Computer Science requires 48 credit points from:

(i) 12 credit points of 1000-level core units

(ii) 18 credit points of 2000-level core units

(iii) 12 credit points of 3000-level core units

(iv) 6 credit points of 3000-level (major only) selective units. The Selective units (major only) are COMP3109,COMP3221,COMP3308,COMP3419,COMP3520 and COMP3608.

Units that are core for both the Bachelor of Advanced Computing and the Computer Science major contribute towards both requirements, however, they count only once towards your credit points. You will need to take an additional elective to make up the credit point requirements of your degree.

Note: From 2025, students must complete at least 24 credit points of 4000-level or higher Advanced (Higher) Electives (instead of 12cp). INFO4001 and INFO4002 will count as Advanced (Higher) Electives from 2025.

From 2023, 5000-level COMP, DATA, INFO and ISYS units in the Bachelor of Computer Science will be re-coded to 4000-level units.

Note: Overlapping major selective units only count towards a single major. Example: COMP3308 is a major selective unit for computational data science major and computer science major, it can only count towards your selected first major.

Note: Overlapping major selective units only count towards your selected first major.
