Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Computer Science
Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Computer Science
This double degree course will provide you with a highly transferable set of skills and knowledge. It develops your scientific thinking skills, including critical analysis and problem-solving ability, and adds computational and complex IT skills, maximising opportunities for employment related to information technology and science.
You have the option to select from one of four computer science specialisations and up to two of 24 areas of Science (e.g. one major and one minor).
You could combine genetics and genomics with data science to leverage big data in analysing genetic information, driving breakthroughs in personalised medicine and disease prediction. You could pair mathematics and algorithms and software to design efficient algorithms for optimisation, cryptography, and large-scale data processing, driving innovation in finance, healthcare, and tech industries. Alternatively, you combine physics and data science to analyse complex physical systems, from quantum mechanics to material science, unlocking new insights in energy and technology.
If you are interested in studying Psychology, this degree is not APAC accredited. You are unable to major in computational science for your science component.
