The University is progressively introducing new course structures for selected courses from 2010.
The structures will differ depending on whether you are commencing a course in 2010 or are continuing in your course.
To ensure we are showing you the correct course information, please make a selection below.
Are you a commencing (new) student or a continuing (re-enrolling) student?
Once inside the handbook site you can change your choice between old and new courses at any time using the coloured link on the top menu bar.
You can also find out more about new course structures on the Course Structures Project website.
*The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see
Withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Students undertake a significant project using skills acquired from completing previous computing and/or information systems units. The project is a team effort and part of the learning is through the development of the ability to work together on a substantial task. Students explore various management styles through their interaction with clients. All aspects of the development process are considered: requirements specification, systems analysis and design, implementation, documentation and testing. The team is taken through a systematic approach to producing a working version of release one of the final product (approximately one-third of the project).
