- How to satisfy the breadth requirement?
-
You may wish to refer to section 2.4 of the handbook (as available in
the school web-site). But, here is a copy of it:
- It must consist of at least 20% of the programme's total MCs (the
total MCs for 3-year programme is 105, and for 4-year programme is
135).
- It must consist of only the following modules:
- CS2301 Business and Technical Communication
- HR3112 Human Resource management.
- either modules that are:
- offered by departments outside the School of Computing, and
not listed in the programme essential requirement, or
- core-curriculum modules
- EC1310, CS1303, and CS1304 can be used to satisfy 2(c) of the
breadth requirement if they are not listed in the programme essential
requirement.
- Additional requirement:
-
For the degree of the B.Comp (CS), students not under the
core-curriculum programme must take the following modules as part of
their fulfilment towards 2(c)(i) of the Breadth requirement:
- Biology module
- Physics module
- level-2 Mathematics module
-
For the degree of the B.Comp (CE), students are not allowed to take
courses offered by Faculty of Engineering as part of their fulfilment
towards 2(c)(i) of the Breadth requirement.
-
For the degree of 3 year B.Comp, students in the Technology focus must
take a Biology module as part of their fulfilment towards 2(c)(i) of
the Breadth Requirement.
- What constitutes a free elective or a free module?
- A free elective is the same as a free module. It can be read from
any faculty (including School of Computing), and it is used to make up
the total credits required by the programme.
- How many MC's do I get if I choose CS3288?
-
4 MC's. This is to be consistent with those who opts to do CS3106
or CS3107.
- What is the relationship between QET, ET1000, and CS2301?
- In general, QET is a university requirement and if a students
fail QET, they have to read 2 ET1XXX modules. However, for SoC
students they read one ET1000 module and substitute the second one
with CS2301. Here is the detail implementation:
- If you are a poly graduate admitted in Academic Year 2000/2001, then:
- If you did not pass your QET, then you must take both ET1000 and
CS2301;
- If you passed QET, or you need not take QET, then you don't need to
read both ET1000 and CS2301.
- If you are not a poly graduate, and you are admitted in Academic Year
2000/2001, then:
- You must take CS2301.
- If you did not pass your QET, then you must take ET1000.
- If you passed QET, or you needed not take QET, then you don't
need to read ET1000.
- How many "Pass/Fail" modules can I take which
can be used in my total MC's counting?
- By fulfilling the requirements for CS and IS,
can a student graduate with both majors in the degree?
- No. Because there are sufficient overlap between these two
programmes, a student cannot claim both majors in the degree.
Furthermore, double degree when approved is only for cross-faculty
degree only.
- when is the last time one can move to another stream?
- The latest is at the end of the 5th semester. More precisely, one should do so 3 weeks before week zero of the 6th semester.
- Is there a limit on the number of CFM modules one can take?
- I am in XX stream, and I have taken
MAxxxx, is it confirmed that the module can be regarded as part of
the fulfillment towards Breadth requirement?
-
Check if the module code MAxxxx appears in your programme
specification.
- If it does, then you can't treat it as a fulfillment towards
breadth requirement.
- If it does not, then you can treat it as a fulfillment towards
breadth requirement; and it does not matter what method you apply to
grab this module.
For instance, taking MA1102 can be considered as satisfying breadth
requirement for IT stream, but not for CS stream.
- The programme elective of the 3-year programme requires me to take
five modules from elective areas A1 to A8. Can these five modules be
of level-2?
- Yes. There is no restriction to the level from which you take the modules.
- Is HR2001/HR2002 still a degree requirement?
- For students admitted in AY
2000(incl. poly intake 2001), the student may take HRM or an additional CFM to
satisfy the HRM requirement.

If I am in the Information Systems programme, can I take CS3215 to replace CS3214?
