Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced)

The Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced) follows the flexible program of the Bachelor of Computer Science with the addition of advanced coursework, extension activities and basic research training. A mentoring program will link you with experienced academic staff and research groups within the University. This will allow you to take part in the University's research activities.

This course is especially designed for people with a strong interest and aptitude for computer science who are seeking a career involving research and development at the cutting edge of technology.

Students must maintain a grade-point average (gpa) of above five (above credit average) to remain in the course. Those who do not maintain this average will be transferred to the Bachelor of Computer Science.

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.
