SITS Diet Block/TypeCPUnit of Study/Unit Block

Note:   Specialisations in the Software Stream

  • stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Software Engineering, such as Internet of Things.
  • breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Software Engineering, in areas such as Humanitarian Engineering or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of your free electives.


You have 4 specialisation combinations to choose from in the Software Stream:
  • 1 stream specialisation [30cp] + free electives [24cp] or
  • 1 stream specialisation [30cp] + 1 breadth specialisation [24cp] (no electives) or
  • Stream electives [30cp] + free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option) or
  • Stream electives [30cp] + breadth specialisation [24cp] (no free electives)

Note:   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

IMPORTANT: When choosing your elective units, consider the specialisation(s) you have chosen and the unit levels. For example, if you are completing a stream specialisation that only contains 3000+ level units, you should leave them for later in the degree once you have completed foundational units, and select 1000-level free electives in your first year.

If you have chosen to complete both a stream and a breadth specialisation, you don`t have space for free electives. Please speak with an Academic Advisor and plan your degree carefully.
