171116 UQFasilkomKKI Path Ways 2017 updated

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 of
Information 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), or
b. 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.) or

c. 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 year
had 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:

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:

3. Advanced standing: 32 units (4 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of Information
Technology (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.

4. Advanced standing: 32 units (4 semesters) of credit towards our Bachelor of Information
Technology (Software Design). In their two semesters here, students complete:

Sem 1: DECO3800 DECO1100 CSSE3002 DECO2500 Sem 2: DECO3801
COMP4500 2 of COMP3301/COMP3702/COMS3000/DECO3500

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
Elective
Sem 2: DECO3801
DECO2300
DECO3500

Sem 1: DECO2200
INFS3200
DECO3850 (4 units)

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)
If any of these courses have not been passed at UI then the amount of credit would have to be
reduced and the duration of study at UQ increased in order to meet the requirements for the
UQ Bachelor of IT.
