Second Year Computer and Management Sciences
The normal load is 120 CATS credits. Candidates for honours are required to take seven core modules and either all three modules in Optional Core Modules List A or all three modules in Optional Core Modules List B. The balance of 24 CATS credits can be selected from any list of optional modules below.
In order to qualify for the third year students must be candidates for honours and have at least a second class peformance in IB206 Introduction to Business Studies. Candidates who fail to achieve this may be permitted to proceed to the third year of the respective Computer Science or Computing Systems degree.
