Computer science is concerned with the scientific design and application of computer software and hardware. It is a broad discipline, encompassing software design, programming, algorithm development, the computing hardware, and the theoretical foundations of computation, as well as the present and potential applications of computing that pervade modern society. The study of computer science is not restricted to current technologies and instead emphasises fundamental principles, thus enabling graduates to understand and indeed shape future developments.
Students can study computer science as a single or double degree program or as a major or minor in course 0050 Bachelor of Science.
For the schedule of units required to complete a given course, major or minor in this area of study, refer to the Handbook entry for the relevant course.
