Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes
Program Structure
- COMPA1-Computer Science (96 UOC)
- COMPD1- Computer Science (Database Systems) (96 UOC)
- COMPE1 - Computer Science (Electronic Commerce) (96 UOC)
- COMPI1 - Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) (96 UOC)
- COMPJ1 - Computer Science (Programming Languages) (96 UOC)
- COMPN1 - Computer Science (Computer Networks) (96 UOC)

- COMPY1 - Computer Science (Security Engineering) (96 UOC)
Only one major may be taken, although it may be possible to change majors during the program if this is done early enough or if an appropriate set of courses has been taken up to that point.
Optionally, students may complete a minor stream from:
- ACCTB2 - Accounting (30 UOC)
- FINSA2 - Finance (30 UOC)
- INFSA2 - Information Systems (30 UOC)
- MARKB2 - Marketing (30 UOC)
- MATHC2 - Mathematics (36 UOC)
- PSYCM2 - Psychology (36 UOC)
Regardless of the stream(s) taken, students must complete:
- 144 UOC (single degree mode)
- 96 UOC stream including 66-78 UOC core and 18-30 UOC electives
- Free Electives (36 UOC)
- General Education (12 UOC)
The disciplinary core comprises 96UOC in one of the approved major streams. All of the major streams satisfy the requirements for accreditation with our professional body, the Australian Computer Society (ACS). Note that all of the majors require all 66 UOC of the courses specified above to be completed; the rest of each major is comprised of 24UOC of COMP electives specific to the area of the major, plus 6UOC of other COMP electives, to a total of 30UOC.
Some or all of the 36UOC of Free Electives may be used in completing a minor. In this case, the 36UOC plus the 12UOC General Education form the breadth/maturity component.
When Computer Science is taken as part of a dual award, students must complete just the disciplinary core:
- 96 UOC (dual degree mode)
- 96 UOC stream including 66-78 UOC core and 18-30 UOC electives
