The Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) is a four year, flexible, research-focused professional program for exceptional students who would like to pursue postgraduate research in computer science or research-oriented computing careers in commerce and industry. The program is built on strong foundations in computer science and mathematics. It provides ample scope for the student to pursue research in individual areas of interest, working with researchers of great international distinction in the areas of computer science, engineering and mathematics. It is anticipated that the program will have professional accreditation with the Australian Computer Society.

Students are required to maintain a superior distinction average each year to remain in the program. Students who do not meet the performance requirements can transfer to the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Information Technology or the Bachelor of Software Engineering, with transfer credit determined on a case by case basis. Exceptional students from other programs will be considered for transfer into the BCS on a case by case basis.

All students who complete the Bachelor of Computer Science Honours degree are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
