BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (HONOURS)
Candidates who achieve a credit average or better in the Bachelor
of Computer Science or a major in computer science in another
degree are eligible to enrol in an additional year of study
towards a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) (BCompSc(Hons)).
To qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Computer Science
(Honours), candidates must complete CSCI401. The level of honours
awarded at the completion of the course is determined in accordance
with University Course Rule Attachment D1(2).
The program of study for BCompSc(Hons), (ie CSCI401 Computer
Science IV Honours) will include:
1. an 18 credit point project;
2. 30 credit points of 400-/900-level Postgraduate Computer
Science subjects
3. with the permission of the Head of School, candidates may
substitute up to 12 credit points of subjects with 300-level
Computer Science subjects or 400-level subjects from another
discipline;
4. attendance at a series of seminars on research methodology
in Autumn Session is compulsory (including quantitative and
qualitative analysis). Seminars will cover the purpose of research,
formulating a research question, conducting a literature review
and writing a research proposal. Students will learn how to
design an appropriate research plan; requirements for scholarly
writing will also be discussed and the process of undertaking
a research project will be analysed.
NOTE
Individual results for subjects attempted will not be released.
Instead, the final result for CSCI401 will be calculated from
the total results for the project and subjects. Set out below
are a sample of subjects which may be taken as part of the BCompSc(Hons).
Topics in Software Engineering
Perception and Planning
Parallel Architectures and Algorithms
Multi-Media Studies
Advanced Topics in Database Management
Advanced Computer Graphics
Neural Computing
Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Coding for Secure Communication
Complexity Theory
Network Security
Advanced Computer Security
JOINT HONOURS WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE
There is a number of high achieving students undertaking double
majors in the BCompSc. Many of these students wish to continue
on to honours. It is desirable that there be provision made
for these students to be able to undertake a joint honours project.
CSCI405: Computer Science Joint Honours provides for these students.
The thesis is usually integrated with the other academic unit.
The subject CSCI405 comprises one half of CSCI401. A topic for
the thesis will be determined in consultation with the other
academic unit. |
