Note: Students are normally expected to complete ELEC1601, ENGG1805/INFO1111, INFO1103/(INFO1110+INFO1113), INFO1105/COMP2123, COMP2017, ISYS2110, ISYS2120, COMP3027 and INFO3333 as core units.

INFO1905/COMP2823 and COMP3927 may be taken as advanced alternatives to INFO1105/COMP2123 and COMP3027 respectively.

Note: A minimum of 18 credit points is required with:

- - at least 12 credit points Maths or Stats units at Level 1000, and

- - at least 6 credit points at Level 2000.

Recommended units at Level 1000 are MATH1001/MATH1021 (3 cp), MATH1002 (3 cp), MATH1003/MATH1023 (3 cp), MATH1005 (3 cp). At Level 2000, MATH2069, MATH2063, STAT2012 and/or STAT2912 are recommended for Computer Science stream students. STAT2012 and/or STAT2912 are recommended for Information Systems stream students. 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.

Overall, 36 credit points of Level 3000 IT electives must be taken for the BCST, including at least 24 credit points for your selected stream. If you are only doing the minimum number of Level 3000 units within your stream (24 credit points, or four units), you will need to select at least 12 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 30 credit points for the BCST.

The Information Systems stream requires ISYS2160 in Year 2 plus ISYS3401 and ISYS3400* in Year 3, plus two units (12 credit points) from Information Systems units INFO3220, INFO3315, DATA3404, ISYS3402 and/or INFO3406.

The Computer Science stream requires COMP2022 in Year 2, then INFO3220 and COMP3615* in Year 3, plus 12 credit points from Computer Science units COMP3308, COMP3419, COMP3520, and/or COMP3608.

* From 2019, students enrolled in the Computer Science stream should take SOFT3888 (replacing the old unit COMP3615 or SOFT3413) and students in the Information System stream should take ISYS3888 (instead of ISYS3400).
