Note that all other prerequisites remain unchanged and are not permitted for concurrent enrolment.

  • COMP6340 and COMP6420

    • Replace COMP6340 with either COMP6331 (S1) or COMP6390 (S2) or MGMT7020 (S2) or ANY 8000-lvl COMP-coded course that you meet the prerequisites for. Note - COMP6390 or another 8XXX Level COMP course cannot be double-counted towards other program requirements.

    • Replace COMP6420 with COMP6240 (S1 and S2).

  • COMP6361

    • Computational Foundations Specialisation – Please refer to the 2024 year rule for this Specialisation. Students may complete COMP8011 as an option in the top list.
    • Computer Systems Specialisation - Please refer to the 2024 year rule for this Specialisation. Students may complete COMP8712 as an option in the top list.

  • COMP6719

    • Student may substitute this course with COMP6300.

  • COMP8110

    • MCOMP students undertaking the Professional Computing Specialisation enrol into ENGN8100 (please apply for a permission code via the CECC portal) and the course will count as one of your COMP courses. Other MCOMP students looking to take this course outside of the Specialisation must note that ENGN8100 will be counted as one of your University Electives, not as a COMP course (as there are other available COMP courses for you to select to meet your requirements).

  • COMP8350

    • Substitutions for students completing the HCC Spec need to be given by the program convener on a case by case basis.

  • COMP8910

    • Graduate Diploma of Applied Data Analytics (DADAN) students may take COMP8430 in order to complete within 1 year.
    • There will be a separate online COMP8910 tutorial for the distance-education Applied Data Analytics students only to enrol into.

  • COMP8420

    • No substitution required for the Machine Learning specialisation, Data Science Specialisation or for students enrolled in the Mater of Applied Data Analytics program, as alternate courses are already available.
    • Students completing the Human-Centred Computing sub-plans will need to make a case to the Program Convenor for a course substitution on a case-by-case basis.

  • COMP8539

    • For students who were initially planning to complete this course as an approved substitution in the HCCC Specialisation, students can now complete COMP8536 (S1 only) in its place.
