Course programme



Program structure
The courses offered in the Bachelor of Computer Science are set out in the course list. Each course is allocated a certain number of units (#). A standard full-time study load is 8 units per semester.
The Program Rules explain what is required to complete the Bachelor of Computer Science. These requirements include the total number of units you need to complete in order to graduate.
To have your degree conferred, you also need to comply with UQ’s policies and rules.

A student is required to complete one of the following:

    1. BCompSc with no major, 48 units comprising -
    • 24 units from Part A; and
    • at least 6 units from part B; and
    • at least 6 units from part C; and
    • the balance from electives being courses from Part D or other courses approved by the Executive Dean; or
    2. BCompSc with a single major, 48 units comprising -
    • 24 units from Part A; and
    • 12 units from Part E under one heading; and
    • the balance from electives being courses from the combination of parts B, C and D or other courses approved by the Executive Dean

Unless otherwise specified, no course may count towards more than one requirement.

No more than 12 units from courses not in the BCompSc list can count toward the degree.

Students must not enrol in postgraduate courses without having obtained prior permission from the Executive Dean.

Students may gain elective credit up to a maximum total of 4 units for approved industry certifications which are current at the time of graduation. Refer to List of approved certifications

Due to the staggered introduction of new courses, students receiving credit or transferring from another program will not be able to graduate until Semester 1, 2019 at the earliest and may not be able to graduate from the Machine Learning major until Semester 2, 2019 or the Cyber Security major until Semester 1, 2020.
