Breadth

Informatics subjects can be taken as breadth in any other NG degree (except Biomedicine), and can potentially lead on to a concurrent Diploma in Informatics. On this page you'll find some examples of courses using Informatics subjects as breadth, and incorporating electives from Comptuer Science, Information Systems, Software Systems and Science Informatics.

For more information, see the general overview of breadth, including information on which breadth subjects are available for your degree.
