Bachelor of Computing Science (Honours)
Course Overview
This course is for aspiring researchers and IT professionals seeking scientific-oriented careers in computing science and IT. Upon completion, you will be equipped to work as an IT professional developing systems from first principles, a computing specialist in technical research, or a data scientist analysing complex datasets. Mixing theory with practice, with a strong focus on mathematics, you will develop robust technical skills, learn to solve complex problems, work effectively in teams, and communicate with precision. You will also gain hands-on experience by engaging in research projects alongside UTS researchers, tackling real-world computing science and IT challenges. This exposure is highly valued by employers seeking graduates with advanced computing science expertise. This course accommodates flexible learning, offering part-time study and some classes in the evening. This course adopts a practice-based approach to computing science education and the course content is a mix of theory and practice, with a stronger focus on the mathematics appropriate for computing science and research projects. As well as gaining strong technical skills in computing science and IT, students gain skills in problem-solving, teamwork and communication. Students undertake research projects with UTS researchers. Employers look for graduates with strong computing science skills and, in this course, students are exposed to real research problems in computing science and IT.
