SUGGESTED UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
The following information is intended as a guideline to the
candidate in selecting suitable supplementary subjects to
make a reasonable pattern for Computer Science degrees.
All candidates are expected to consult with the School and
Faculty advisers before committing themselves completely to
any particular pattern, whether outlined below or not.
It is emphasised that the following programs are based on
the usual 48 credit points per year, totalling 144 credit
points over 3 years.
A major study in either Computer Science, Secure Distributed
Systems or Software Development can be combined with any of
the following:
- Mathematics (CS01)
- Electronic Commerce (CS29, CS30 or CS36)
- Electronics (CS37, CS38 or CS39)
- Management (CS09)
- Marketing (CS10)

BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (HONOURS)
Candidates who achieve a credit average or better in the Bachelor
of Computer Science or a major in computer science in another
degree are eligible to enrol in an additional year of study
towards a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) (BCompSc(Hons)).
To qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Computer Science
(Honours), candidates must complete CSCI401. The level of
honours awarded at the completion of the course is determined
in accordance with University Course Rule Attachment D1(2).
The program of study for BCompSc(Hons), (ie CSCI401 Computer
Science IV Honours) is 48 credit points and will include:
-
an 18 credit point project;
-
30 credit points of 400-/900-level Postgraduate Computer
Science subjects;
-
with the permission of the Head of School, candidates
may substitute up to 12 credit points of subjects with
300-level Computer Science subjects or 400-level subjects
from another discipline;
- attendance at a series of seminars on research methodology
in Autumn Session is compulsory (including quantitative
and qualitative analysis). Seminars will cover the purpose
of research, formulating a research question, conducting
a literature review and writing a research proposal. Students
will learn how to design an appropriate research plan; requirements
for scholarly writing will also be discussed and the process
of undertaking a research project will be analysed.
NOTE
Individual results for subjects attempted will not be released.
Instead, the final result for CSCI401 will be calculated from
the total results for the project and subjects. Set out below
are a sample of subjects which may be taken as part of the
BCompSc(Hons).
Topics in Software Engineering
Perception and Planning
Parallel Architectures and Algorithms
Multi-Media Studies
Advanced Topics in Database Management
Advanced Computer Graphics
Neural Computing
Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Coding for Secure Communication
Complexity Theory
Network Security
Advanced Computer Security
JOINT HONOURS WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE
There is a number of high achieving students undertaking double
majors in the BCompSc. Many of these students wish to continue
on to honours. It is desirable that there be provision made
for these students to be able to undertake a joint honours
project. CSCI405: Computer Science Joint Honours provides
for these students.
The thesis is usually integrated with the other academic unit.
The subject CSCI405 comprises one half of CSCI401. A topic
for the thesis will be determined in consultation with the
other academic unit.
