Why choose this course?
Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computer-based system design, development and operation. It deals with areas ranging from the fundamental principles of computation to tools and techniques for IT system development and evaluation, including identifying and solving systems design issues associated with efficiency, usability and security.
Computer science applications extend into specialised areas, including mobile computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and large-scale information management involving information retrieval and web search engines.
If you want to work with cutting-edge technology and be a part of creating technologies that have yet to be invented, a computer science career could be for you.
In your first year, you’ll complete your common IT units, including an introduction to computer systems, learning design and build principles and developing databases. You’ll also learn programming principles.
In the Computer Science major, you will develop application design and development skills and learn discrete structures, software development, and networks. You’ll develop knowledge of advanced concepts of algorithms and complexity.
You will have practical, hands-on experiences throughout your course. In addition, you will have the option of further specialisations by choosing a second major or minors.
Your final year is your opportunity to showcase your skills with a major project. Your project will be for a real-world client and will be unveiled at the IT and Games Showcase, held at the end of the year.
Customise your degree
You can customise your degree to suit your interests. You will learn software development and networked systems, with the opportunity to gain specific expertise in information security, networks and communications, intelligent systems, data-centric computing, or user experience.
Foster your passion and shape your career through complementary study areas. As well as choosing a major area of study, your course includes a second study area, which can be either a second major or a double minor. A second major can complement your major area of study, allowing you to develop a significant depth of knowledge and skills in two discipline areas.
IT Second Majors
Computational and Simulation Science
Combines the study of science and mathematical models with computers to provide quantitative analysis and visualisation to gain insight into the solution of scientific problems from various scientific application areas. Computational and Simulation Science second major graduates will be in demand to apply the latest computing and computational techniques to specialist application areas.
Data Science
Provides the necessary skills to be a data scientist, including statistical methods and data visualisation, computational tools and data management techniques for large datasets, and high-performance computing resources and techniques. This unique skill set in statistics and computing will allow you to cope with sophisticated models applied to complex and large datasets.
Information Systems
Focuses on using IT skills and knowledge to identify organisational requirements and design effective and innovative IT systems solutions. In this second major, you will develop expertise in understanding information technology capabilities and implications, as well as proficiency in best-of-breed methods, techniques, and tools to improve and innovate the work of individuals and organisations.
Expand the breadth of your studies by adding to your major with one minor. You can choose from the information technology discipline or broaden your studies by completing minors that offer general knowledge and insights in study areas from across the university.
IT Minors
