Bachelor of Computer Science
University of New England
Program Overview
Our Bachelor of Computer Science includes a core of subjects that will give you a solid programming, mathematical, and software engineering background. From these units you will learn multiple programming languages, as well as the leading collaborative tools and practices that software teams use to design, develop and deliver software that solves problems for their users.
You will also participate in a team project where you will have the opportunity to develop solutions to real-world computing problems, drawn from industry and community organisations.
You can choose to study either one, or both, of two majors:
-
Software Development - You will study topics including artificial intelligence, functional programming, development for the modern web, mobile development, and interaction design.
-
Data Science - You will learn topics that are relevant to applying computing to science. This includes statistical machine learning, distributed computing, and computational science.
