Software Development
Honours unit of study table (Table A)
The Software Development Honours is a component available via an appended Honours. Honours is comprised of a total of 48-credit points that is distributed across 24-credit points of research project in areas including, but not limited to, requirement engineering, software testing, software quality and verification and validation. The remaining 24-credit points is spent in advanced coursework units of study, including a core subject of CS Research Methods.
Honours is available to students who have a completed major in an area relevant to their project and have met the requirements outlined in the resolutions. Admittance into the program is determined by the Faculty of Science as well as the honours director.
