Overview

Adopting an industry-inspired model of learning-by-doing, this course provides students the foundational skills required for modern computing. This is accomplished through a first-year bootcamp and project-based learning studios.

Graduating with outstanding problem-solving skills, you’ll be able to design, implement and maintain the kind of complex software systems that drive mobile computing, artificial intelligence and more. An active learning approach is used to emphasise the skills you’ll need in the workplace.

Majors and minors in computer science course include artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, enterprise systems development, cyber security, blockchain technologies, creative computing, bioinformatics, and data analysis.

On successful completion of the first two years of this course at distinction level, you will be eligible to transfer into the 4-year Bachelor of Computer Science (Professional) course that includes an industry placement year.
