It is possible for students to complete the program without using any non-CSE electives provided they are not in the Bioinformatics major.
Students formally enrolled in the Bioinformatics major, who have no advanced standing, and who are required to complete MATH5846 as a co-requisite for MATH5856 have pre-approval to take this course as an additional non-CSE elective to satisfy the major.
Students who have received advanced standing should seek advice from the CSE Student Office regarding the use of their elective options towards completion of this major.
Entry Requirements:
at least a three year undergraduate degree equivalent to a standard Australian bachelor degree in a discipline that included Mathematics up to at least year two level (preferably in science or engineering); and a high credit average achieved over the final two years of study.
or completion of the Graduate Certificate in Computing.
Articulation: Students can apply to articulate from the GradDip (5543) to the MIT (8543) provided they do not fail any course. Full credit will be granted.
Advanced Standing is possible for up to 50% of the program. Students can seek advanced standing in the following courses only:
Students wishing to apply for Advanced Standing should fill in the Advanced Standing/Exemption Form and return it with a certified academic transcript or in the case of GSOE9820 Project Management evidence of either formal study or professional experience. More information can be found on the Advanced Standing website.
