313313 v.2 Computing Major (BSc Science)
Introduction
This major consists of the 1 year Computing Pre-Major followed by the Computing Major (within the major, the student must choose one of the four Computing streams). This major provides a thorough coverage of modern computing. The major covers fundamental programming and theoretical knowledge followed by an opportunity to specialise in one of the four key computing streams: Computer Science, Information Technology, Cyber Security and Software Engineering. Curtin's Computing course teaches C++ and Java in the Computing Pre-Major. Linux and object oriented programming skills are taught throughout the course. The graduates from the course will have a high level of knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and maintenance. The aim of this major is to prepare the students for the areas of ICT stated to be most in demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill.
Professional Recognition
Graduates are eligible for Professional Level accreditation from the Australian Computer Society.
