Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology Advanced

Course Overview


The Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology (Advanced) is a more challenging variant of the Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology, and will appeal to you if you have substantial programming experience, aptitude and/or a high ATAR.

The course has the same flexible structure as the Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology, except that students complete a significant amount of their study in advanced units, where more sophisticated and challenging topics and approaches are covered. You will choose units of study from a wide range of areas including networking, human-computer interaction, graphics, object-oriented design, internet software platforms, artificial intelligence, and e-business analysis and design.

As in the Bachelor of Computer Science and Technology, all students will enrol in one of two streams: information systems or computer science.

An additional honours year is available to eligible students.
