Higher Courses

The School of Computer Science and Engineering and the School of Mathematics offer some first and second year courses in two formats, for example COMP1011 Computing 1A, and COMP1711 Higher Computing 1A. Entry to Higher Computing 1A is possible if you have a UAI of 97 or above, or a HSC mathematics result adequate to get you into Higher Mathematics 1A. Entry to Higher Computing 1B requires a result of 75 or better in either Higher Computing 1A or Computing 1A. The "Higher" courses in the School of Computer Science and Engineering generally cover the basic syllabus material at an accelerated rate, and then pursue lateral extension material, with interesting applications and challenging assignments.

The Higher courses in Mathematics generally cover the same material as the corresponding ordinary maths course but in a more theoretically complete fashion. The mathematics level 1 course descriptions are here - search for MATH1141 and MATH1241.
