Requirements: Award requirements

Bachelor of Advanced Computing/Bachelor of Science

To qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Advanced Computing / Bachelor of Science a candidate must complete 240 credit points comprising:

(a) 96 credit points of core units as specified in Table A for the Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Advanced Computing;

(b) An Information Technology Major (48 credit points) from Table A for the Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Advanced Computing;

(c) At least 12cp of 4000-level or higher IT electives from Table A

(d) Degree Core: 12 credit points of mathematics degree core units of study as set out in Table A for the Bachelor of Science (students may count the units from their major(s) or minor(s) to fulfil this requirement); and 12 credit points of 1000-level science elective units of study (excluding units listed as Mathematics degree core) as set out in Table A (students may count the units from their major(s) or minor(s) to fulfil this requirement); and

(e) A Science Major (48 credit points) or a 3-year program with an embedded major from Table A for the Bachelor of Science, and which is different from the major completed to satisfy requirements (note: candidates taking Computational Data Science to fulfil BAdvComp requirements may not take Data Science again to fulfil requirements for the second major specified in this clause);

(f) If enrolled in a stream, requirements for the stream as specified in Table A for the Bachelor of Science or Table S.

(g) 12 credit points of units of study in the Open Learning Environment as listed in Table O;

(h) Where appropriate, additional elective units as required from Table A for the Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Advanced Computing, Table A for the Bachelor of Science and Table S.

Streams

The available streams in the Bachelor of Advanced Computing are:

• Dalyell

Achievement of the Dalyell stream requires:

(i) Completion of 12 credit points of Dalyell units as set out in Table S

(ii) Admission on the basis of ATAR or first year WAM as determined by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies

(iii) Maintenance of the required WAM as determined by the Board of Interdisciplinary Studies

Majors

(a) Completion of a major (the Information Technology Major) from Table A for the Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Advanced Computing is a requirement for the Bachelor of Advanced Computing/Bachelor of Science.

Available majors are:

• Computer Science

• Computational Data Science

• Information Systems

• Software Development

(b) Completion of a major (the Science Major) or a program which contains a major (the Science Program) from Table A for the Bachelor of Science is a requirement for the Bachelor of Advanced Computing/ Bachelor of Science. The Science Major must not be the same as the Information Technology Major completed. Students taking an Information Technology Major in Computational Data Science may not take a Table A major for the Bachelor of Science or Table S Major in Data Science. The majors and programs available and requirements for completing the majors and programs are as specified in Table A for the Bachelor of Science.
