Applied Computing Subject regulations
Applied Computing at the University of Waikato gives you the practical technological skills to provide effective business solutions.
Applied Computing is available within the Bachelor of Applied Computing (BAppComp). The qualification regulations define the requirements for the BAppComp.
Students must complete:
a) COMPX101 or ENGEN103, COMPX102, CSMAX175, COMPX171, and one of MATHS135, DATAX111 or DATAX121
b) COMPX201, COMPX202, COMPX225, COMPX271, and CSMAX270, and
c) COMPX324, COMPX322, COMPX323, and COMPX398
Students must also complete a further 135 points from any undergraduate subject.
Applied Computing was available as a first major for the Bachelor of Science (BSc). Applied Computing was also available as a second major or minor in other undergraduate degrees, subject to the approval of the Division in which the student is enrolled.
To complete Applied Computing as a single major for the BSc, students must gain 135 points from papers listed for Applied Computing, including 105 points above 100 level and 45 points above 200 level. Students must complete: COMPX101 or ENGEN103, COMPX161, COMPX221, COMPX222, COMPX223, DSIGN241, COMPX322 and COMPX324.
There will be no new enrolments in the BSc with a major in Applied Computing in 2021 onwards. Students enrolled in 2020 or previously should consult the Division of Health, Engineering, Computing and Science for programme advice.
To be eligible to pass these papers, students should normally achieve a minimum grade of D in the internal assessment and the final examination, and an overall grade of C.
