There are several pathways for UI students who have completed the first five semesters of Computer Science degree:
1.
Advanced standing: 32 units (4 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor ofInformation Technology (no major). In their two semesters here, students complete: Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 Part C Part C
Sem 2: DECO3801 COMP4500 Part C Elective (possibly INFS2200) and will receive our Bachelor of Information Technology.
Stude ts wo ’t e a le to o plete INFS 00 si e it will e ui e p e e uisite INFS2200 (sem 2 only). Note that COMP4500 could be replaced by a part C course to meet our Bachelor of IT requirements.
Students can then either:
a.
Return to UI for one semester and complete your Data Science & Analytics course (and Algorithms course if COMP4500 not taken), orb.
Stay at UQ for one year (two semesters) to complete our Bachelor of IT (Honours) year – which can include INFS3200 (and COMP4500 if required). (A minimum GPA must be met to enter the Honours year.) orc.
Stay at UQ for three semesters to complete a Master of Computer Science – which can include the Masters equivalents of INFS3200 and COMP4500. (A minimum GPA must be met to enter the Master of Computer Science). As per our previous arrangements, this can be completed in one calendar year (March to February) but few students took this option in the past. Allowing a summer break and finishing in July of the following yearhad a more reasonable workload and was more popular.
NOTE: with a semester two start, both COMP4500 and INFS3200 can be taken:
Sem 2: DECO3801 INFS2200 COMP4500 Part C
Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 INFS3200 Part C
2.
Advanced standing: 32 units (4 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Information Systems). In their two semesters here, students complete:Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 INFS3202 BISM3222
Sem 2: DECO3801 COMP4500 INFS3204 INFS2200
INFS3200 unable to be taken. Options after this are the same as (1) above. NOTE: with a semester two start, both COMP4500 and INFS3200 can be taken:
Sem 2: DECO3801 INFS2200 COMP4500 INFS3204
Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 INFS3200 INFS3202 or BISM3222
3.
Advanced standing: 32 units (4 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of InformationTechnology (Computer Systems & Networks). In their two semesters here, students complete:
Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 COMS3200 Elective
Sem 2: DECO3801 COMP4500 COMP3301 COMS3000
INFS3200 unable to be taken. Options after this are the same as (1) above. Semester two commencement plan just swaps the two lines.

5.
Advanced standing: 24 units (3 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of Information Technology (User Experience Design) In their three semesters here, students complete: Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 DECO2500 ElectiveSem 2: DECO3801 DECO2300 DECO3500 INFS2200
Sem 1: DECO2200 INFS3200 DECO3850 (4 units)
Stude ts wo ’t e a le to o plete COMP 00 se si e there is no space in semester 2.(Alternatively, COMP4500 can be taken in place of INFS2200 but then INFS3200 would not be able to be taken in the last semester.)
NOTE: A four semester study plan would be required for students commencing in semester 2(July).
6.
Advanced standing: 24 units (3 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of Information Technology (Enterprise Information Systems). In their three semesters here, students complete:Sem 1: DECO1100 INFS3202 BIMS3222/Part F course Part F course Sem 2: DECO3801 INFS2200 COMP4500 Part F course/INFS3204 Sem 1: DECO3800 INFS3200 Part F course Part F course
Students can complete both COMP4500 and INFS3200. (Same applies for a semester two start.)
For students failing a small number of courses at UI (i.e. must still have passed at least 80 SKS), we could still give the credit above but would require students to pass all UI courses which we consider equivalent to compulsory courses or part B courses in our Bachelor of Information Technology. These are the following UI courses:
• Discrete Mathematics 1 (sem 1) • Programming Foundations 1 (sem 1) • Introduction to Digital Systems (sem 1) • Programming Foundations 2 (sem 2)
• Introduction to Computer Organization (sem 2)
• Data Structures & Algorithms (required to progress to COMP4500) (sem 3) • Web Design & Programming (sem 3)
• Databases (sem 4)
• Advanced Programming (sem 4) • Software Engineering (sem 4)
• Software Engineering Projects (sem 5)
For our Computer Systems & Networks major, students would also have to pass the following three courses. These are not required for other majors.
• Operating Systems (sem 3) • Computer Networks (sem 4) • System Programming (sem 5)
