Curtin university

Computer science develops a high level of understanding of computer systems as a whole and the processes involved in both software and hardware construction and analysis. You’ll write software and learn methods for analysing and solving problems and the fundamentals underlying the development of computer systems. Software design and algorithm analysis will be covered while you explore the fields of artificial intelligence, computer communications, systems programming and computer graphics.In this double degree, you’ll focus on the development of fundamentals in physics, mathematics, data analysis, computing and engineering. You’ll complete a physics research project in your third year under the supervision of one of our research groups.In your final two years, you’ll be devoted to the engineering side of this course.To satisfy professional requirements, you’ll need to complete 12 weeks of approved work experienced associated with the engineering industry before graduating.
At least three of the following four: Mathematics 3C/3D, Mathematics: Specialist 3C/3D, Physics 3A/3B and Chemistry 3A/3B.At least English 2A/2B, Literature 2A/2B or English as an Additional Language/Dialect 2A/2B.Engineering Studies 3A/3B.
In this course the major studies includes the understanding of computer systems as a whole and the processes involved in both software and hardware construction and analaysis.As well the studies also includes the writing of software and learning methods for analysing and solving problems and the fundamentals underlying the development of computer systems.Software design and algorithm analysis will be covered while you explore the fields of artificial intelligence, computer communications, systems programming and computer graphics.in this course the fundamentals in physics, mathematics, data analysis, computing and engineering are also studied as a major .
The eligibility criteria to study a bachelor degree at Curtin, you normally need to have graduated from high school with the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE), or an equivalent qualification, and gained an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) that satisfies Curtin's entry requirements. Your year 12 exam result remains valid indefinitely. Scores dating back to 1992 (including the TEA out of 400 and the TES out of 510) can be converted to the current ranking, the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), with the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre ATAR calculator.The other eligibilty criteria includes:- 1) Successful completion of the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). 2)  Successful completion of the Alternative Test for Adult Admission (prior to STAT). 3)  Successful completion of the Mature age Tertiary Entrance Examination (TEE). 4)   General Certification of Education (advanced levels). 5)  TAFE or Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications. 6) Current Division 1 General or Mental Health Nursing Registration with a State Nursing Board in Australia. 7) Successful completion of the first year of a bachelor degree course at another Australian university. 8) Successful completion of two Curtin full degree level units via extension study and English competence. 9) Successful completion of two degree level units via Open Universities Australia (OUA) and English competence. 10)Successful completion of two degree level units at an Australian university and English competence.
The course is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society.
This course can help you become a:Electronics Engineer, Systems Designer (Information Technology), Programmer (Information Technology), Electronics Engineering Associate, Information Technology Support Technician,Electrical or Electronics Engineering Technologist, Electrical Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Analyst (Information Technology), Programmer (Information Technology).This fully accredited degree assures that graduates enjoy career opportunities in a wide range of industries in Australia and overseas.Our graduates are employed by companies who develop computing technology skills (e.g. language compilers and operating systems) such as Google, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Motorola, etc. Twenty Curtin graduates are currently employed by Microsoft in Seattle.Excellent high profile research on artificial intelligence and computer vision is carried out by computer scientists in the Department. This offers graduates the opportunity to further enhance their skills and knowledge by working on highly relevant projects (such as surveillance) under the supervision of academics with well-established research profiles.
