* CSC4030.16 is a final-year computer science subject worth sixteen points (1/3 of a year) for honours candidates for the Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering (BCSE). BCSE pass-level candidates do not take CSC4030. BCSE honours candidates are required to take four computer science `honours units' from the CSC4000.48 options and at most one of these may be replaced by a 4 c.p. computer science third-year unit (this cannot be an elective taken previously). BCSE pass-level candidates are required to take either four 4 c.p computer science third-year units or three computer science third-year subjects CSC3xxx and one level-four subject selected as one of the available computer science `honours units'. All candidates' courses are subject to the approval of the head of the Department of Computer Science. Computer science options from CSC4000.48 vary from year to year.
+Students are required to complete either ECS4397.16 or ECS4392.16 and would normally enrol in ECS4397.16. Those students intending to do their thesis in first semester only in order to complete their degree at the end of first semester should enrol in ECS4392.16.
1.Students cannot gain credit for both CSC3130 and ECS3382.
2.Students cannot take credit for both CSC3140 and ECS3383.
3.Students cannot take credit for both CSC3091 and ECS3384.
