Computer Science course structure
Delivery of the Bachelor of Computer Science is divided into three stages:
Stage 1/Year 1 – Diploma
of Computing
Stage 1/year 1 of the Bachelor of
Computer Science degree is a Diploma
program. The Diploma is a “common year”
and students are required to complete the
8 specified units in their Diploma studies
to be eligible to transfer to Year 2 of the
Bachelor of Computer Science.
Award of Diploma of Computing is issued.
Stage 2/Year 2
Stage 2/Year 2 is discipline specific.
The number of units studied is dependent
upon whether students choose to
undertake a single or double major
(see course structures).
No award is issued.
Stage 3/Year 3 Bachelor
of Computer Science
Stage 3/Year 3 is discipline specific. The
number of units studied is dependent
upon whether students choose to
undertake a single or double major (see
course structures).
Award of Bachelor of Science is
issued by ECU.
Note:
The Bachelor of Science course has
the following components:
• A first year Diploma of eight (8) units
• A major program of eight (8) units four (4) to be
studied for the Associate Degree and four (4) to be
studied at third year level.
• A supplementary program consisting of eight (8)
units comprising:
• A second major from the Bachelor of
Computer Science
• An elective program of eight (8) units (the 8
units can be selected from the Bachelor of
Computer Science and the Bachelor of Business
In planning your course you should
take into account the following:
• Bachelor of Computer Science students must
complete a minimum of four (4) level three units
and no more than twelve level one units
