Course Structure
The goal of the BComptlSci degree is to produce graduates who are
competent at solving real world problems using advanced computers.
The core units of the course provide a strong basis for the
modelling, analysis and computation required for "real life" advanced
computational projects. In particular the core
units address the mathematical modelling of problems in science and
industry and the numerical computation of the mathematical equations
so derived. In addition, they introduce students to modern computing
languages and programming techniques as well as allow practical use
of advanced computing systems.
Our students should also have an advanced knowledge of at least one
application area. The integration of discipline specific units with
more general computational modelling units will allow the entire
course structure to have a multidisciplinary emphasis. This is obtained by taking
a science major.
Course Requirements
Course Requirements
You will need to complete a total of 192 units of courses of which no fewer than 156 units must be science courses.
Your program must include:
- COMP1100 or COMP1130, COMP1110 or COMP1140, COMP2100, COMP2310, at least one of COMP3320 or COMP4300, COMP3600,
- MATH1115, MATH1116, at least two courses chosen from MATH2405, MATH2306, MATH2320, STAT2001 and at least two courses chosen from MATH3511, MATH3512, MATH3501.
- Successful completion of a total of two computational science extension activities associated with two of the courses MATH1115, MATH1116, MATH2405 or MATH2306.
- Six courses (36 units) at the Honours pathway level
- A science major (of the level C courses noted in (a) or (b), three must not be counted towards this major).
- Completion of a further 36 units of courses from anywhere in the University.
- Completion of a science honours year program (48 units)
The degree program may not include more than 60 units at first year level.
To remain enrolled in the BComptlSci(Honours) program students must maintain an average mark of 75 in science courses.
The maximum period for completion of the degree program is 10 years from the date of first enrolment in the program. The 10 years includes periods of leave.
Honours year
* No student is guaranteed entry to a particular Honours program or supervisor at the beginning of the degree, rather entry to particular Honours programs will be guaranteed with successful completion of a major at the standard required for continuation in the program;
* The criterion for continuation in the program normally will be an average mark of 80 in Science courses;
* Students in the direct entry BComptlSci (Honours) stream who do not get the 80 average mark shall be transferred to the standard BSc stream, but will be allowed to compete for places in Honours at the end of third year with other students.
