First Year Computer and Business Studies BSc 2006/07

The first year course for Joint Honours Computer and Business Studies students provides an introduction to programming, computer systems and business studies, and incorporates basic mathematics of relevance to Computer Science.

The normal load is 120 CATS credits. Students are required to take five core modules (81 CATS credits), modules equivalent to at least 12 CATS credits from List A, one module from List B, and additional credits selected from Lists A and C.

Note:

The combination of both IB108 Statistics for Business and IB104 Mathematical Programming I together is equivalent to IB102 Quanitative Methods and Analysis.
IB104 Mathematical Programming I satisfies the prerequisite for IB220 Quantitative Methods for Resource Management.
IB108 Statistics for Business satisfies the prerequisite for IB219 Quantitative Methods for Multivariate Analysis.
CS122 and CS133 cannot be taken together (CS122 is part of CS133).
