Undergraduate courses


The Faculty of Computing and Information Technology offers a wide range of undergraduate degree courses covering different aspects of computing. The courses are designed to equip students to enter the computing profession in a variety of areas including the application of computer technology to information systems in commerce and industry, and the design, construction and programming of computer equipment.

Students who satisfy the academic requirements and who wish to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of their area of major study may choose to take a fourth or honours year. The normal qualification for admission to honours is a credit grade or better in the area of major study.

For information about how to apply for entry to one of the faculty's undergraduate courses, refer to the `Undergraduate studies' section. International students should refer to the section titled `For international students'.

A Diploma in Computing by distance education is also available. Computing subjects may also be studied by students enrolled for undergraduate degree courses in other faculties. For example, at Clayton it is possible to study computer science, business systems, information management, information systems and digital systems at first- and second-year level while studying another discipline as the major part of a course, and to study computing to third-year level in a degree involving two major disciplines. The extent to which this can be done can be determined by studying the regulations for the course concerned.
