Software Engineering

All candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Software Engineering (including those enrolled in a combined degree) must satisfy the requirements described in the table of core units of study.
Candidates will also need to choose a number of recommended units of study for Software Engineering, which consist of:
- all level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 EIE and SIT units which do not appear in the table of core units;
- the units of study listed in the table of additional recommended units of study; and
- such other units of study as may be so designated by the Head of School.

Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering

Candidates for the 4-year Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering degree are required to complete a total of not less than 192 credit points including at least 168 credit points made up of units from the table of core units and recommended units of study with no more than 18 credit points of recommended elective units from level 1, and 2. The additional 24 credit points may consist, in whole or in part, of free elective units of study approved by the Head of School.

Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering in a combined degree course

Candidates in the combined degree course of Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering with the Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Project Management or Bachelor of Laws are required to complete at least 144 credit points made up of units from the table of core units and recommended units of study with no more than 18 credit points of recommended elective units from level 1, and 2.
