| 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 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. | |||
