What will I learn?

Highlights

  • Use hardware and software to design and build systems to solve complex problems or issues associated with efficiency, usability, and security.
  • Learn software development and networked systems, with the opportunity to gain specific expertise in areas such as information security, networks and communications, intelligent systems, data-centric computing, or user experience.
  • Understand how an effective blend of information technology skills and business knowledge shape industries of the future in an ACS (Australian Computer Society) accredited course with international recognition.
  • Get career-ready for roles such as software developer, systems analyst, programmer, mobile application developer, website developer, user experience designer, network administrator, security analyst, computer scientist, systems programmer, or data mining specialist.

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 through 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 not yet been invented, a computer science career could be for you.

Why choose this course?

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 areas such as information security, networks, and communications, intelligent systems, data-centric computing, or user experience.

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.

Focusing on your major, you will develop application design and development skills, and learn discrete structures, software development, and networks. You'll develop knowledge in 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 through the choice of your minors or second major.

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.

Careers and outcomes

Computer science graduates are experienced in software development, familiar with networked systems and have an understanding of the underlying foundations of all modern computerbased technologies. Depending on your choice of study areas, opportunities also exist to gain specific expertise in information security, networks and communications, intelligent systems, data-centric computing, or humancomputer interaction.

Graduates work in a wide variety of roles such as software developer, systems analyst, programmer, mobile application developer, website developer, user experience designer, network administrator, security analyst, computer scientist, systems programmer or data mining specialist.
