General advice on choosing subjects:
> Our postgraduate IT courses include some core
subjects, plus many electives
> Try and study core subjects earlier (provided you meet
the prerequisites)
> Plan ahead for your electives and enrol in them as early
as possible – popular electives can become full
> Refer to the handbook and timetable, but if you are
really stuck with choosing subjects, speak with your
course co-ordinator or program director
