Overview

The University of New England is at the forefront of online education and offers all courses in online format. For further information check the most up-to-date University of New England COVID-19 arrangements.

This course will give you the strong programming, technical, and problem-solving skills that are in demand in a wide range of industries and careers.

The core subjects will equip you with a solid programming, mathematical, and software engineering background. From these units you will learn multiple programming languages, as well as the leading collaborative tools and practices that software teams use to design, develop and deliver software that solves problems for their users.

You will also participate in a team project where you will have the opportunity to develop solutions to real-world computing problems, drawn from industry and community organisations.

Our degree is designed with software development and computational science roles in mind, but with the in-built flexibility to choose how you structure your study to suit your interests and aspirations.

Two majors are available: Software Development (including artificial intelligence, functional programming, development for the modern web, mobile development, and interaction design); and Data Science (covering statistical machine learning, distributed computing, computational science, and other topics relevant to applying computing to science).

You can take both majors, or a single major and complete your degree with your own customised set of additional units. The major or majors you complete will appear on your academic record and testamur.
