Computing software and systems are becoming an ever more prevalent part of our lives revolutionizing the way we live, work and communicate. The Computer Science major will give knowledge and skills required to be a part of this revolution. Students will also learn the theoretical, algorithmic, implementation and systems principles that underpin computer languages and computer networks and discover how to develop new technologies and advanced programming. The Computer Science major is suitable if students wish to play a role in developing new computing technologies (for example with companies such as Google or Microsoft) or specialize in enterprise-level programming, systems, Software Engineering or research careers.
Major studies focuses on development of knowledge and skills required to revolutionize the world in which we live and work, and the way that we communicate. Theoretical, algorithmic, implementation and systems principles that underpin computer languages and computer networks and discover how to develop new technologies and advanced programming are all involved as major part of study.
Successful completion of the Computer Science major will grant student a direct entry pathway into the Master of Professional Engineering (Software Engineering), in which student will have the opportunity to obtain a professionally accredited post-graduate engineering degree in Software Engineering. This major provides the foundation for studying Software Engineering at postgraduate level through the Master of Professional Engineering. Students may also apply for entry to honors in Computer Science.
Destinations for graduates include large software development houses such as Google, Microsoft, Motorola and Thales, as well as many smaller computing, mining and resources, and consulting companies. Students may also seek to further studies in software and mechatronics engineering, as well as honors and research degrees. This course leads student to become a: Analyst, Business and Systems Analyst, Chief Information Officer, Computer Network Professional, Developer Programmer, Electrical Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Engineer, Intelligence Analyst, Network Administrator, Network Analyst, Software Engineer, Software and Applications Programmer, Statistician, Systems Administrator, Web Administrator, Web Designer, Web Developer.
