Overview

The Bachelor of Computer Science caters for people with specific interests in computer science and / or information technology. It has a core of compulsory computer science courses and a wide range of elective choices according to their interests and strengths, including the selection of mathematics, commerce, economics, engineering, finance, arts, and sciences. In the third year students have the opportunity to choose at least one area of computer science to specialise in, which involves developing an in-depth understanding of the field. Graduates should be highly skilled in the design of computer-based solutions to the problems of information management and processing in industry, commerce, science, entertainment, and the public sector.
The Bachelor of Computer Science is an AQF Level 7 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
