Monash University
Bachelor of Computer Science
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationAt Australia’s leading IT faculty, the Bachelor of Computer Science equips you with the problem solving, programming and analytical skills you need to drive change and discovery in search of a better world. Dive deep into both theory and practice, then choose where you’d like to focus your career by specialising in either advanced computer science or data science. Computer scientists are needed in nearly every critical industry.
In this degree, you’ll gain a deep understanding of computational theory and its mathematical foundations. Learn to design algorithms (instructions for computers) and data structures (ways to store information), then acquire practical programming skills to implement them in solutions. Importantly, you’ll be able to do so across many fields, creatively, efficiently and ethically.
