    Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)/Fine Arts

    About

    The Bachelor of Computer Science/Fine Arts double degree provides technical and creative foundations for developing and using computer graphics and coded media. It allows you to specialise in either the technical or creative strand of computer graphics and associated fields. 

    Designed for students aspiring to work in the creative fields, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is for those who are open minded, curious, and inventive and who wish to immerse themselves in their creative practice. The BFA is home to distinctive specialisations in Animation and Moving Image, Art Theory, Music, and Visual Arts, each of which is led by experts in your field and supported by specialist facilities.   

    You'll build technical skills and knowledge, learning from experts in practical and theoretical classes. And with strong industry connections embedded in each specialisation, you'll develop your career throughout the entire degree.

    Gain the technical computer science foundation and complementary creative skills for producing compelling computer graphics and innovative creative applications.

    The Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)/Fine Arts double degree program is 4 years full-time and consists of 32 courses (192 Units of Credit). Even though you'll complete two degrees, it doesn't mean double the workload. Each year you'll complete a mix of courses from each degree with the same number of units as a single degree full-time study load of eight courses across three terms. 

    This double degree program includes:

    • Core courses in computer science and fine arts

    • Fine arts specialisation 

    • Optional computer science specialisation

    • Elective courses

    Career

    Throughout your double degree, you'll build a network of contacts among your classmates and lecturers, and you'll be able to reach out to a global network of UNSW graduates. When launching your career, you'll benefit from our leading reputation in research and teaching, with many graduates recruited by industry partners before completing their degree.

    Our computer science graduates have gone on to work with companies such as CSIRO, Cisco, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and start-ups like Canva and Atlassian. With flexible course options, your Bachelor of Fine Arts includes opportunities to experiment with professional roles in internships and work placements, preparing you for your career.

    Your career opportunities may depend on your area of specialisation. View the various degree specialisations for examples of specific career opportunities below.
