Bachelor of Computing Science (Honours)

About

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.

UTS: Information Technology continues to support part-time study and some subjects can be taken in the evening as well as during the day.

Course aims

The course aims to produce graduates who are able to apply, in the context of any organisation, the knowledge and skills required of:

information technology professionals who develop systems from first principles
computing specialists for technical research careers, both in industry and academia, or
data scientists who interrogate complex datasets.

Innovation and Transdisciplinary program

Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree. All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most. Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives. By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline. If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates. * Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
