From 2024, 3cp Math units are replaced by new 6cp units MATH1061 and MATH1062. Students who have not yet completed all 3cp Math units can use this interactive tool on Canvas for enrolment advice: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/2806/pages/mathematics-changes-in-2024
MATH1061 may be replaced by advanced unit MATH1961.
INFO1110 may be replaced by advanced unit INFO1910.
DATA1001 may be replaced by advanced until DATA1901.
INFO1110/1910 are part of both the Computer Science major and the Core units. However, they only count once towards your total requirements, even though they fulfill criteria for both the major and core requirements.

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 second 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.
