COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE (Clayton)

Computational science enables the study of vast amounts of data that modern science and engineering must process during computational analysis and visualisation. Computers allow us to perform virtual experiments that are too dangerous, too costly, or plainly impossible to conduct in reality, and using simulation we can even explore hypothetical worlds.

The computational science major complements computer science with foundational studies in another field of science and with specialised topics in scientific computation. It aims to produce graduates that combine a scientific education with computational expertise and are adept in trans-disciplinary work.

DECISION SUPPORT (Clayton)

Decision support is a vital component of organisations and the environments they operate in. They have become increasingly more complex, and information technology has become an indispensable component of the decision making processes that allow us to deal with this complexities. Decision support systems use innovative IT techniques to model organisations and to reveal the impact of alternative choices on the quality of service and operational costs. Decision support applications include strategic planning, market analysis, resource allocation and scheduling, online adaptation and operational control. The decision support major complements the foundational studies in computer science, with topics on data analysis, decision making, intelligent systems, and decision support systems.

SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT (Clayton)

Systems development requires not only a solid grounding in computer science, but also sound knowledge of technological topics, such as computer architecture and networking. The systems development major combines the study of these areas with basic training in software engineering and is aimed at students who want to focus on the engineering aspects of information technology.
