Note:
Achievement of a major in Computational Data Science requires 48 credit points 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 core units
(iv) 12 credit points of 3000-level selective units. The 3000selective units are: COMP3027,COMP3927,COMP3308,COMP3530,COMP3608,DATA3404,DATA3406
Units that are core for both the Bachelor of Advanced Computing and the Computational Data 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.
