Overview

Information and communications technology is driving many changes in science. Science also increasingly relies on computing in collecting, storing and analysing large volumes of data such as computationally intensive simulations of new physical phenomena.

Choose your computer science specialisation from Advanced computer science or Data science, and your science major after sampling from across the range of disciplines.

You will have a highly transferable set of skills and knowledge covering scientific thinking, including critical analysis and problem-solving ability, as well as computational and complex IT skills.

Career opportunities are broad across the range of sciences and will include fields where scientific data management is important.
