The Bachelor of Computing is designed to produce graduates who satisfy the
computing needs of industry, government and commerce, and who can expect
employment in the fields of applications programming, systems programming,
systems analysis, project management, database design and management, data
communications, and a range of specialised positions. Students develop their
knowledge, skills and attitudes in the broad areas of software development,
computer technology and information systems.
The degree can be completed in the equivalent of three years of full-time study
over six semesters, with an average of 16 hours per week class contact. Classes
are available during the day.
This course is accredited by the Australian Computer Society as meeting the
Level 1 standard of knowledge for membership.
Although initially only the third year of the course will be offered to cater
for students who have undertaken tertiary-level studies in computing at other
institutions, it is expected that the full course will be introduced over a
number of years.
Applicants wishing to apply for entry to the Bachelor of Computing must have a minimum GCE A-level score of 18 or a minimum IB score of 25, and have successfully completed the prerequisite subjects English Year 12 equivalent and mathematics Year 11 equivalent.
The pass degree consists of both compulsory and elective units, to a total of 144 points. There must be a minimum of 36 points at each year level, and a maximum of 60 points of first-year-level units. In first year, the Bachelor of Computing consists of six compulsory units in the areas of computer technology, computer programming and information systems. In second year, there are five further compulsory units in these areas. In third year, all students complete an industrial project unit over two semesters. In addition to these 'core' compulsory units, students must choose at least three approved electives offered by the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering (SCSSE) at the Malaysia campus, plus eight other electives which may be chosen from faculty units or from other faculties. At least two of the SCSSE electives must be at third-year level. The other may be at second or third-year level.
Students may be able to specialise in one or more areas, depending on which electives are available. A specialisation consists of a set of three electives chosen from a particular area. Specialisations are optional in the course structure.
