Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours)
The Bachelor of Computer Science equips you with a strong foundation in essential knowledge and skills in the field of computer science. Our degree has a broad focus, meaning you'll study diverse courses including security, mathematics, language models, data structures, operating systems and cybersecurity. You can choose to study the general major and learn a mix of courses, or specialise in either artificial intelligence and machine learning, human-centred computing or programming languages. Industry-linked projects and courses in communication and group collaboration also provide valuable real-world experience and networking opportunities. As an Honours student, you'll develop a deeper and more specialised understanding of computer science topics. A fourth year thesis will give you transferable research skills and serve as a pathway to further postgraduate studies including a PhD. Distinguish yourself in the job market and gain a competitive edge with Adelaide University. Graduates with computer science expertise can look forward to career opportunities in a range of fields from software development to healthcare, banking and defence.
