Check the details
Students should consider the following points in selecting courses to be studied in a particular year, enabling them to structure their study program so prerequisite courses are completed prior to subsequent advanced level courses:
- details of course availability (term offered, internal and distance availability, prerequisites) are published in the Table of Course Availability section, and students must make themselves aware of these.
- full-time students usually study a maximum of 4 courses per term
- part-time students usually study a maximum of 2 courses per term
This course places some emphasis on developing the student's competencies and practical knowledge of the business applications of computing. Internal students will spend time in computer facilities as part of their regular classes and distance students will need to ensure, when undertaking certain courses of study, they have a high level of access to adequate computer facilities.
