Course structure
The structure of the course is quite flexible, requiring 24 subjects for completion. Every student must complete ten core subjects and a major of eight subjects in a specific area of IT.
In addition every student must complete an additional six free electives. If desired, these subjects may be an additional major, either in IT or in another discipline area. Electives should be selected in consultation with the Course Coordinator.
The core component covers principles fundamental to the information systems and computing discipline such as databases, data communications, analysis and design and project work plus emerging directions that prepare students to undertake an IT major from a specified list.
