The program of study for BIST(Hons), (i.e., BIST400 Internet Science & Technology IV Honours) is 48 credit points and will normally include:

1. an 18 credit point project; and
2. 30 credit points of coursework. This coursework component will consist of individual subjects, including:
   1. a research methodology subject, as determined by the Course Coordinator and
   2. other subjects, of which 18 credit points must be at 400 level, as approved by the Course Coordinator.

Note: Individual results for the coursework subjects attempted and the project will not be released. Instead, the final result for BIST400 will be calculated by weighting the coursework and project components according to their credit point value.
