| 4. Most Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science units of study offered by the Faculty of Science can be replaced by equivalent advanced level units of study subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from the relevant department before enrolling. | |||
Project Management Recommended Electives |
|||
| In addition to the core units in the above table students will need to complete electives to gain a total of 144 credit points as required for the degree. The following list are recommend units. | |||
