|---|---|---|---|
| Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) are required to gain credit for 192 credit points from the units of study set out below. The selection of units must satisfy the degree rules in the Resolutions of the Faculty. In particular, all core units must be completed, along with an appropriate amount from the elective units of study as recommended by the Faculty. Candidates for the BIT degree must complete a stream in either Computer Science or Information Systems, or both, as described in the Tables below. | |||
| Enrolment is subject to the following constraints: | |||
| 1. At most 72 credit points accumulated from first year units (core and recommended electives) can be counted for degree completion. | |||
| 2. At least 84 credit points must be accumulated from 3000-level and above units (including 72cp of core, selected core and recommended electives as outlined in this table). | |||
| 3. Candidates in the BIT degree must maintain a credit average in each year of enrolment. If this level of result is not achieved candidates will be transferred to the BCST degree program. | |||
| Through this table, candidates may substitute an advanced equivalent for a non- advanced unit mentioned. They may also substitute an appropriate unit from the Advanced Engineering program of the Faculty of Engineering, or the Talented Student Program of the Faculty of Science, if they are eligible to enrol in such units. | |||
