Rationale for Proposed Change:
In recent years the BSc Computer Science was changed to offer several streams. The current proposed change extends these streams into 4th year.
As part of this process we have taken the opportunity to introduce some new modules and to remove or update older modules. We have also decided to introduce some core taught modules into 4th year to add structure to the offering and simplify timetabling.

THE FOLLOWING TEXT SHOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING CALENDAR ENTRY
