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	Trimester 3
1	COSC101 or Elective Unit	AMTH140
	COSC110	COSC102 or Elective Unit
	MTHS120	COSC120
	Elective Unit	STAT100
2	COSC210	COSC220
	COSC230	COSC240
	COSC250	COSC260
	STAT210	COSC330
3	COSC310	COSC320
	COSC340	COSC350
	COSC370	COSC360
	STAT330	COSC380
Note: 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 an Elective Unit) and MTHS120 in Trimester 2 of Year 1.
