What is a Bachelor of Computer Science?

Computer science is in everything, from the technology powering our phones and laptops to the way data is analyzed in healthcare and agriculture. Computer science is used in fashion design, in designing video games and apps, and in buoys that record weather far out at sea.听

Gain a deep understanding of the theory, design and application of computer science through our six main areas of study:

Artifical Intelligence

Create, interact with, and leverage AI in an efficient and ethical way.

Cybersecurity

Protect systems, networks, data, and programs from digital attacks.

Digital Innovation

Apply digital technologies in a strategic way to improve existing processes in business.

Human-Computer Interaction

Improve the usability and user experience (UX) of websites, apps, programs and games.

Scientific Computing听听

Explore the theory of computer systems to develop and apply algorithms for complex tasks.听

Software Development

Learn the process of creating, designing, testing, and maintaining computer programs.

By the end of your degree, you will have the knowledge and skills to build, influence and evaluate technology in various fields. You鈥檒l not only become a strong programmer but will master the skills needed to create and confidently use new and innovative technologies.
