Additional Maths or Stats units may be taken depending on availability. See Science Faculty handbook for details of available MATH and STAT units at http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks

Note: Recommended Units also include all Level 2000 COMP, INFO, ISYS unit and ELEC units. See Faculty of Engineering/IT Unit of Study page at http://cusp.sydney.edu.au/students/view-units-page/did/742 for full list of COMP, INFO, ISYS and ELEC units of study.

Up to 30 credit points may be completed from these units.

Note: This collection is intended to cover Level 3000 Recommended IT units that are outside of your selected stream (Computer Science or Information Technology. All Level 3000 COMP, INFO, ISYS unit and ELEC units may be selected as Recommended IT Units. Students in BCST (Advanced) may take also take Recommended units from fourth year BIT (including Level 5000 COMP, INFO, ISYS unit and ELEC units), with Special Permission from the School of IT.

Overall, 24 credit points of Level 3000 IT (or above) electives must be taken for the BCST (Advanced), including a minimum of 18 credit points from Level 3000 units in the your selected stream. If you are only doing the minimum number of Level 3000 units within your stream (18 credit points, or three units), you will need to select at least 6 credit points (one extra unit) from the units of study here.

See IT Stream Units list below for units within your stream.

See Faculty of Engineering/IT Unit of Study page at http://cusp.sydney.edu.au/students/view-units-page/did/742 for full list of COMP, INFO, ISYS and ELEC units of study.

Note: Electives may be chosen from Level 1, 2 or 3 ENGG units, Level 2 or 3 PMGT units or any Level 1, 2 or 3 unit in Architecture, Arts, Business, Science , Health Sciences or Bioscience. Up to 30 credit points may be taken from these units.

Note: Completion of a stream is a requirement of the course. Candidates have the option of completing up to two streams. The streams available are: (a) Computer Science and (b) Information Systems. Each stream requires 24 credit points for the BCST (Advanced).
