The Information Technology (Honours) requires one year of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).
The course is offered by the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
A student who has completed all the requirements of the Bachelor of Information Technology, or another qualification which the Faculty Board agrees is equivalent, may be accepted as a candidate for the honours degree provided a sufficiently high standard has been achieved in fulfilling the requirements for the bachelors degree.
In order to be eligible for entry to honours, students would normally be expected to have achieved a grade point average of at least 5 in 36 units of upper level COMP topics.
