AU35 Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) (Computing) Curtin University

  • THÔNG TIN CHUNG

    Computer scientists, software engineers, programmers and other computing professionals are experts on how technology works and how computing can address even the most complicated and intricate problems.

    This major is a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) course, designed for high-performing students to pursue their interest in science through a core of research, leadership and entrepreneurship.

    You will benefit from a personalised and flexible learning experience in which you can  explore the field of computing through for-credit immersive research experiences, industry placement and/or interdisciplinary team-based projects.

    In your first year, you'll develop your programming skills and study the fundamental theoretical knowledge of computing. Topics covered will include C++, Java, Linux and object oriented programming.

    You can then tailor a specialised skill set in Computer Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology or Software Engineering.

    Your studies will culminate in a capstone project, with topics ranging from pure research through to translational (entrepreneurial) science.

    SPECIALISATIONS

    Computer Science
    You'll develop an in-depth knowledge of software design and algorithm analysis, as well as artificial intelligence, computer communications, databases and graphics. Your study will focus on the knowledge required to build operating systems and design new programming languages. As computer science theory and applications are mathematically based, there is a strong emphasis on mathematics.

    Cyber Security
    Cyber Security focuses on the key concepts and challenges in data and resource protection and computer software security. You'll examine high level aspects of computer security – cryptography theory, data access policy development and security program management – and the low level practical aspects comprising computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling.

    You'll develop the skills to identify appropriate applications for specific scenarios, with an understanding of cultural and ethical issues related to protecting individual rights.

    Information Technology
    You'll learn the technological and applied aspects of computing, with less emphasis on theory. You'll study system programming, software design and engineering, networking (including the internet and the web), artificial intelligence for decision support, and graphics.

    Software Engineering
    Software engineers are experts in the principles of design, measurement and analysis applied in the context of the development of software-based systems. You'll gain a strong foundation in computer science, with further emphasis on software requirements gathering, design, implementation and testing. You'll also study communication skills, professional responsibility, ethics, interpersonal relationships, teamwork and time management.

    Why study

    The majors in Curtin’s Advanced Science (Honours) are unique in Western Australia in their combination of discipline focus, capacity to specialise within that discipline or pursue other interests, and research and work experience within the course.

    You'll have a distinctive set of skills and experience that lay the foundation for a career as a scientist able to work across the range of science roles: from pure research to translational and entrepreneurial science.

    How this course will make you industry ready

    This course has been designed with industry to ensure that the skills and knowledge are those required for employers in this dynamic field.

    Work-integrated learning (WIL) is ensured, through engagement in immersive industry and/or research experiences. During second and third year of your studies you have the opportunity to source internal and external internships and immersive work experiences, which can be used for course credit.

    You'll also have the opportunity to interact with potential employers though your final-year capstone project, in which you will work on real-world problems presented by industry.

    Professional recognition

    Graduates are eligible to apply for Professional Level accreditation of the Australian Computer Society. The Cyber Security specialisation meets standards related to data encryption, computer security protection and management, of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic EngineersAssociation for Computing Machinery and the Australian Computer Society.
