Course Plans for Bachelor of Computer Science

Data Science

Full-Time Course Plan

The following are suggested patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these suggested patterns as guides as to how best structure their studies.

A six credit point unit is estimated to require a total workload of approximately 150 hours per unit (this means about 12 to 15 hours per week per unit).

For candidates commencing in Trimester 1

Year	Trimester 1	Trimester 2
1	COSC101 or Listed Unit for this Major	AMTH140
	COSC110	COSC102 or Listed Unit for this Major
	MTHS120	COSC120
	Elective Unit	MTHS130 or STAT100
2	COSC210	COSC220
	COSC230	COSC240
	Prescribed Unit for this Major	Prescribed Unit for this Major
	Listed Unit for this Major	Listed Unit for this Major
3	COSC310	COSC320 or 300-level Prescribed Unit for this Major
	COSC320 or 300-level Prescribed Unit for this Major	300-level Prescribed Unit for this Major
	Elective Unit	Prescribed Unit for this Major
	300-level COSC Listed Unit for this Major	Listed Unit for this Major
Notes: Candidates who have not completed Year 12 HSC Mathematics Extension 1, or equivalent, which is the recommended background for MTHS120 should instead take MTHS110 in Trimester 1 of Year 1 (as a Listed Unit) and MTHS120 in Trimester 2 of Year 1. Students completing the Data Science major should note that STAT100 is a prerequisite for STAT210.
