This is a combined course for the arts and network computing degrees which
enables students to take out both degrees after four years of study. Students
complete all the requirements for the Bachelor of Network Computing while at
the same time they complete at least a major and minor sequence, an additional
first-year sequence in arts units and a further 12 points in arts. As the use
of computer networks and distributed systems becomes widespread, there is an
increasing need both for IT professionals who have sound written and verbal
communications skills, and for graduates with a broad educational background
who also understand networks and the tools, techniques, methods and
technologies required to build distributed applications.
Graduates who can offer knowledge and skills in both the arts and computer
networking fields are likely to be in demand by public and large private sector
organisations of all types. Double-degree graduates from this course would be
able to offer employers broad analytical, communication, and problem-solving
skills, combined with the technical knowledge required to understand, design,
and construct distributed applications, operating on local area networks, wide
area networks, intranets, extranets and the internet.
