The 62.5 points labelled CSSE electives must be selected, subject to prerequisites being satisfied, from the 300-level, 400-level and (with the approval of the Department) masters-level subjects offered by the Department and must include at least 37.5 points selected from: 433-332 Operating Systems, 433-351 Database Systems, 433-353 Networks and Communications, 433-371 Interactive System Design and 433-441 System Modelling and Analysis. 433-643 IT Project Management is strongly recommended. 12.5 points of other elective subjects may be used for additional computer science or electrical engineering subjects. The selection of elective subjects may be restricted by timetable and prerequisite requirements.


In 2005 the Department introduced restrictions to the computing subjects offered by other departments which can be taken as electives in the BCS, BE(Software), BE(Eng MGt) and BE(Biomedical) Bioinformatics programs. Students are advised to visit the School of Engineering Community in LMS for more details.

Students wishing to take science majors other than the ones listed above should contact the Faculty of Science, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering for course planning advice.

Students must plan their course so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.
Students may choose to take the final year of Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering before the Science year.

The 62.5 points labelled CSSE electives must be selected, subject to prerequisites being satisfied, from the 300-level, 400-level and (with the approval of the Department) masters-level subjects offered by the Department and must include at least 37.5 points selected from: 433-332 Operating Systems, 433-351 Database Systems, 433-353 Networks and Communications, 433-371 Interactive System Design and 433-441 System Modelling and Analysis. 433-643 IT Project Management is strongly recommended. 12.5 points of other elective subjects may be used for additional computer science or electrical engineering subjects.

Students are advised to visit the School of Engineering Community in LMS for more details.

Students who commenced before 2004 may replace 433-342 with one of 433-332, 433-351, 433-353, 433-371, 433-441.
