Computer Science
Honours
Honours in Computer Science is embedded within the Bachelor of Advanced Studies. The one-year program is comprised of a total of 48-credit points distributed across a 24-credit point research project in a specialised area such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, database, HCI, cybersecurity and more. Students will also complete four 6-credit point units of advanced coursework, including a core unit in IT Research Methods.
Honours is available to students who have a completed major in an area relevant to their project and have met the requirements outlined in the resolutions. Admittance into the program is determined by the Faculty of Science as well as the honours coordinator.
