Further information
Some specialisations may only be available to external education students and/or may only be studied part-time and may not be suitable for international students who wish to study full-time on-campus. Only the Applied Data Science (Semester 2 entry) and Computing specialisations can be studied full-time and/or full-time on-campus. The teaching specialisations alone do not meet eligibility for teacher registration and therefore should only be taken by students who already have completed an initial teacher education program. Semester 1 intake for Applied Data Science specialisation is part time only. Semester 2 part time intake for Applied Data Science specialisation is only available to students who have completed CSC1401 and STA2300 in their Bachelor degrees. Some students may take 1.5 years to complete.
