Bachelor of Science Honours in Computing

Qualification code: 98908 NQF Exit level: 8 Total credits: 120
Admission requirements:A BSc degree (or equivalent qualification) with 60% in a relevant major subject.
Rules:Computing is an umbrella term that includes both Computer Science and Information Systems. The new Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Computing (98908) therefore includes modules in Information Systems and Computer Science. Students may take any combination of them. Note, however, that the Computer Science modules assume a background in Computer Science. Students with only a major in Information Systems on undergraduate level are strongly advised to take the Information Systems honours modules, and students with only a major in Computer Science on undergraduate level are strongly advised to take the Computer Science honours modules. An exception is Ontology Engineering COS4840, which is suitable for students with a background in Computer Science or Information Systems. Students who want to register for this qualification must have access to an Internet Cafe or a Unisa Regional Learning Centre or other Internet facilities. After registration, access to myUnisa on a regular basis is compulsory.
