Note: Continuing students should note that 2015 BCST (Advanced) 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 (Advanced) remains as it was before.
