Undergraduate Certificate in Computer Science
University of New South Wales - Sydney - Kensington
Overview
Computer Science involves the study of the design, construction and uses of computer systems. It is concerned with the representation of data and data structures in computer systems and the design of algorithms for automatic manipulation of this information by programming languages and machine systems.
The undergraduate certificate in Computer Science provides you with a solid foundation in Computer Science concepts. You will learn about the fundamentals of programming and computer systems, and gain an understanding of some of the mathematical underpinnings of Computer Science. It will equip you to apply that understanding to write software and solve problems.
This qualification will suit those looking for a shorter qualification that will equip them with practical skills, or are looking for an alternative pathway to a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science).
The certificate is equivalent to two terms of study (4 courses) in an undergraduate degree. On successful completion of the certificate, you can transfer your completed courses and continue your studies in the Bachelor of Computer Science, subject to meeting the articulation requirements.
Women in Engineering program: The Women in Engineering community at UNSW is a valuable support network that will help empower you to grow personally and professionally. With bespoke mentoring and development opportunities and our program of industry events, we aim to ensure you emerge from UNSW as a highly employable and qualified professional.
