Bachelor of Science
The Faculty of Computing, Health and Science offers a general Bachelor of Science with a wide range of discipline concentrations and a number of more specialised Bachelor of Science courses providing specifically identified major studies.
Requirements for each of the specific awards offered in the School of Computer and Information Science are detailed below.
The more flexible award is described earlier in the Handbook.
INTRODUCTION This is a three year full-time (or part-time equivalent) program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) reflects an integrated approach to computer-based information systems, combining the more traditional aspects of computer science with modern information technology and methodology. Graduates will possess the necessary expertise to take up positions in government, industry or business requiring a knowledge of computer science and its application to information processing. A core program provides a comprehensive study spanning three streams: computer systems, programming, and machine operations. A choice of a Minor study or Elective units is available to enable students to pursue further study in these areas. Students should seek the advice of the course coordinator when choosing their Minor study or Elective units.
The Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) course has received professional accreditation with the Australian Computer Society. Graduates will automatically be able to seek membership of the Australian Computer Society as professional members.
SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS In addition to standard admission requirements, applicants require a TEE Mathematics subject, or equivalent.
COURSE LOCATION AND MODE OF STUDY The course is available by full-time or part-time study on Joondalup and Mount Lawley campuses and at the South West campus (Bunbury).
COURSE STRUCTURE This is a specialist study course comprising eighteen core units and either a six unit minor study or six elective units. Full-time students would normally complete the program in three years as outlined in the scheme below. |
