Which diplomas are accessible for my intake, and how does allocation work? A preferred diploma is not assumed.

Course focus & comparison
An AI/data course at another institution to compare with SP.
Compare its data, mathematics and compulsory modules with SP’s. Which actual tasks appeal more?
About this comparison
SP’s catalogue currently uses Computer Science for S69, previously Information Technology. Use course codes as well as names when checking older materials. A neighbouring NP example is included so that the comparison does not stop at the campus boundary.
A specific field—or more time to choose within computing?
Applied AI & Analytics centres the comparison on data and AI; Computer Science offers a neighbouring software-focused option; Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics points toward security work. Common ICT is a different kind of choice: SP describes exploration in the first semester before a diploma choice. Do not read that as guaranteed allocation to any preferred diploma.
The table links the actual curricula so that “I want computing” can become a choice between named programmes. For an AI shortlist, the NP example adds a comparison across institutions rather than only within SP.
