305670 v.2 Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking)
BTech(Curtin)
Course CRICOS Code: 041280C
Registered Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 3 Years
Introduction
This course has been introduced to address a significant market demand for skills associated with the design of distributed computing environments and the networks that underpin them. It encompasses computer technology, in terms of both hardware and software, as well as computer communications and networking incorporating Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), and Wide Area Networks (WANs) together with network management.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
TEE Discrete Mathematics or Applicable Mathematics. Students with Discrete Mathematics only will be required to undertake a bridging mathematics unit as their elective in the first year.
Specific Requirements
The STAT is not accepted for entry to this course.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.
Duration and Availability
The course is three years full-time or equivalent part-time study. Two intakes are offered each year, in March and August. Prospective students should note that places may not always be available for the August intake.
Career Opportunities
The choice of topics and structure of the course will enable graduates to compete successfully in the job market and satisfy the need for competent network and Information Technology managers.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials.
Special Note
This course replaces the existing Bachelor of Applied Science (Computer Technology) from 2002. Students undertaking that course are required to complete the original requirements within three years or transfer to the new course. Students transferring to the new course may be required to complete additional units to meet the new course requirements which will increase the stated course duration.
