Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Computer Science for 2009

Print version

Course overview

The double degree combines the best of both worlds. It offers graduates the strong communication skills, critical analysis and problem-solving ability of a science degree, plus numeracy and complex skills of an information technology degree. For the science component, students complete two science core units, a minor or major sequence in mathematics, and a major or minor sequence in another science area of study. The computer science component provides students with an in-depth study of computing with an emphasis on the software, hardware and theory of computation to solve a range of commercial, scientific and technical problems. It also explores software design and programming, computer hardware, the theoretical foundations of computing and its present and potential applications. High achieving students may apply to participate in the Industry Based Learning (IBL) stream of the Bachelor of Computer Sciences.
