Bachelor of Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence and Big Data)
University of Wollongong
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00102E
As data sets continue to expand exponentially, connecting data with artificial intelligence technology can provide new insights that are critical to solving complex problems. Big Data can solve problems in science, society and business including population growth, transport, security, medical technology, trade and commerce. However, data first needs to be processed and refined so we can gain intelligence and make better decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to develop computer software and hardware to enable machines to learn from experience, adapt to new, incoming information and tackle tasks that require human-like thinking.
Structure
Students in their first year will study a common core of subjects that links our computer science, IT and information systems degrees before choosing a major.To qualify for award of the degree of Bachelor of Computer Science, complete 144 credit points and satisfy all course requirements for the degree outlined in the course structure below (except for students enrolled at UOW Hong Kong, the course requirements listed against the structure by campus below):a) 90 credit points of core subjects listed below, andb) If majors are available (see course structure by campus below), to qualify for a major complete 24 credit points from the major list below, orc) If not undertaking a major, in addition to the core, complete 18 credit points of 300 level CSCI, CSIT or ISIT subjects, and an additional 6 credit point subject at 200/300 level CSCI, CSIT or ISIT not listed in the core,d) and Elective subjects to bring the total to 144 credit points chosen from the School of Computing and Information Technology, that is any CSIT, CSCI or ISIT subjects (not in the core or chosen major) or from the General Schedule.e) No more than 60 credit points at 100-level. In the final year, students will develop their own application as part of an annual student team project, developing solutions to real-world problems provided by our industry partners.
Subjects
- You will study subjects in the foundation of AI and Big Data
- augmented and virtual reality
- and complete subjects in foundations of AI
- modern AI
- Big Data management
- Big data mining techniques and implementation.
Standard entry requirements
- ATAR-BASED ADMISSION OPTIONS Entry to this course can be gained with: Minimum ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank)
- International Baccalaureate (IB)
- Interstate equivalent (such as Victoria’s ENTER or Queensland OP)
- Or Results in an overseas qualification deemed equivalent to Australian year 12. The minimum score for guaranteed entry (or for consideration if this course has limited places) is an ATAR-Selection Rank of 75 or an IB of 26. This includes the effect of adjustment factors. Adjustment factors, such as the subjects you are studying, the area in which you live or equity and access schemes, are taken into consideration and these will be combined with your ATAR to adjust your selection rank and make it higher than your ATAR. Find out more about UOW's adjustment factors. The University assumes students will have studied any 2 units of English plus Mathematics Advanced. Ideally, students will have studied Mathematics Extension 1. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia. In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science.
Recognition
The Bachelor of Computer Science is accredited by the Australian Computer Society as meeting requirements for membership at the 'Professional Level'.
Study pathways
If you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for our subjects through prior learning, such as previous tertiary or TAFE qualifications, you may be eligible for credit for prior learning towards your degree. Where relevant to the UOW degree, specified credit may be given for specific subject(s); where not relevant to the degree, unspecified credit may be awarded.Upon successful completion of the UOW College Diploma of Information Technology, you will receive credit of 48 credit points towards a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCompSc) at UOW. You will be required to meet minimum subject requirements in order to progress from the Diploma of IT into the second year of a BCompSc.
