Bachelor of Computer Science/Bachelor of Economics

In this dual degree students gain a strong foundation in economics principles, theories and tools, along with the in-depth knowledge of a computer science degree. The computer science component combines the theoretical studies of algorithms and data structures with the practical challenges of implementing them in hardware and software systems. Graduates with the skills and knowledge from a degree in computer science are sought after across the breadth and depth of the computing industry, where there is an on-going shortage of people who can participate in shaping the future of the society. In the economics component, students study human behaviour related to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services, by means of markets, businesses or other institutions. The conceptual and data analytical toolkits gained from the economics degree will open vast career opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
