Introduction A knowledge of computing software and hardware is becoming increasingly important to graduates of Applied Science. The Applied Science/Computing double degree enables students to combine an in-depth study of computing with any of the major study areas in Applied Science. Thus a graduate primarily employed in a computing role within an organisation with a scientific or technological base will be more useful since he/she will also have a strong background in the scientific principles underpinning the industry. Similarly a graduate employed primarily as a scientist will be more able to apply the full range of computer applications in there day-to-day work. Course Structure This combined degree program emphasises flexibility. To graduate with both degrees, students must complete 36 units over four years and satisfy the requirements listed below. Because of the wide variety of studies available in both the Applied Science and Computing degrees, each student’s program will be tailored to their choices. However all major studies require the completion of a high proportion of compulsory subjects. Bachelor of Applied Science In order to qualify for admission to the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science via the double degree program a candidate must complete at least 19 Science subjects, including two sub-major and one major sequences. Details of available sub-majors and majors can be found in from the Bachelor of Applied Science entry. Bachelor of Computing Admission to the degree of Bachelor of Computing via the double degree program requires students to complete at least 19 Computing subjects, including all the compulsory units for the chosen strand of the Computing degree. Details of the available major strands can be found from the Bachelor of Computing entry. Note: two appropriate units may be deemed a part of both the Applied Science and Computing degrees. Details of Course Structure are available here. Career Opportunities Graduates have scientific knowledge, analytical and practical skills developed in the Applied Science program together with Computing skills in programming, communications or technology. Initial employment may be found in the area of their Applied Science major (e.g. biotechnology, food science, chemistry, instrumentation, etc.) or of their Computing major providing a broad range of opportunities. In both cases, progression into management positions will be greatly aided by the breadth of skills developed during within the double degree program. Depending of the major studies completed during the course, graduates are eligible for membership of the Australian Computer Society and a number of other professional associations depending on their Applied Science major. Those students wishing to proceed to further study may undertake an Honours degree in either Applied Science or Computing, providing a range of research opportunities. Admission Requirements A grade average of at least D in English and Mathematical Methods and one of Chemistry, Physics or Biology in Year 12. Further Information Course Administrator |
