Note: Continuing students should note that 2015 BCST tables shown here differs from previous years by bringing the Computer Science and Informations Systems streams together, rather than treating as separate courses. The merging of the stream details was done to to make it easier for students to compare the different requirements of each stream, and see where the requirements are the same in both cases. Apart from this change, the BCST remains as it was before.

Note:
Completion of a stream is a requirement of the course. Candidates have the option of completing up to two streams. The streams available are: (a) Computer Science and (b) Information Systems. Each stream requires 30 credit points for the BCST.
The Information Systems stream requires ISYS2140 in Year 2 plus ISYS3401 and ISYS3400 in Year 3, plus two units (12 credit points) from Information Systems units INFO3220, INFO3315, INFO3404 (or INFO3504) and/or INFO3406.
The Computer Science stream requires either COMP2022 or COMP2121 in Year 2, then INFO3220 and COMP3615 in Year 3, plus 12 credit points from Computer Science units COMP3109, COMP3308, COMP3419, COMP3520, COMP3530, and/or COMP3608.
Please note: for students in the BCST, COMP3615 has been replaced by SOFT3413 from 2018. Please select SOFT3413 instead of COMP3615.
