Bachelor of Computer Science
Computer Scientists work on challenging, complex problems. They develop the foundation for new software technologies, both theoretical and practical. Computer science is fundamental to the newest trends in computing, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, quantum computing, cybersecurity advancements and the development of immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences. These technologies are part of everyday life. Think AI-powered virtual assistants on your phone, machine learning based disease prediction and health monitoring, sophisticated cyber security protocols protecting social media data, VR and AR gaming experiences or educational tools, and smart home appliances that learn and adapt to user preferences.
