Computer scientists work on challenging programming tasks, developing new software technologies and sophisticated new online systems. Computer science is fundamental to many everyday technologies like mobile phones, learning systems, online shopping, navigation systems, social media, computer games and programmable appliances. The Bachelor of Computer Science produces innovative and resourceful computer scientists who are experts at complex problem solving. They work across fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, computer graphics, digital forensics, bioinformatics, web development, cryptography and data security. Assumed Knowledge: Mathematics (Band 5 or above) Recommended Studies: Mathematics Extension 1 (Band E1 or above) Combine this degree with: • Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Mathematics Computer systems engineers combine creativity with technology to develop solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges. They are essential in a wide range of industries like computer design, defence applications, communication networks and internet development. With a Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (Honours), you might find yourself developing advanced computing equipment for industrial or business systems. Or, you could design and maintain a banking data centre to run internet banking services. Assumed Knowledge: Mathematics (Band 5 or above) and at least one sciencerelated subject (Physics or Chemistry preferred) Recommended Studies: Mathematics Extension 1 Combine this degree with: • Bachelor of Business • Bachelor of Computer Science • Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Mathematics • Bachelor of Science (Physics major only) Information technology (IT) is all about developing, building and maintaining software systems to meet the challenges faced by society and seizing the opportunities that new technology creates. The Bachelor of Information Technology allows you to specialise in business technologies and manage large and complex systems for big corporations and government. If you’re passionate about media and entertainment, you could even create exciting games, animations and digital content. Assumed Knowledge: English (Standard) or English (Advanced) Combine this degree with: • Bachelor of Business The Bachelor of Mathematics attracts the very best problem-solvers – those who analyse things critically and are eager to make technological discoveries. The computing, maths and technology industries are at the forefront of new thinking, and are central to the way we work, learn, communicate, socialise and entertain ourselves. Through this degree, you might mathematically model the way diseases spread to find a cure for malaria or search for algorithms to speed up computations. You will use your skills in technology, creativity and logic to push the boundaries and make a difference in society. Assumed Knowledge: Mathematics Recommended Studies: Mathematics Extension 1 Combine this degree with: • Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Computer Science • Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours) • Bachelor of Science Are you a problem-solver? A critical thinker? Maybe you want to use your analytical skills to make innovative technological discoveries? The Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced) will prepare you for a career far beyond the norm and outside the conventional roles of a mathematician. You’ll join a high achieving cohort and build on your previous knowledge in logic, mathematical modelling, experimental design and data analysis. Enhancing your learning with industry experience, you’ll build professional connections which will increase your career outcomes. You can work in a wide range of fields including communications, international finance and the futures market, the energy sector, or even medical and health research. Assumed Knowledge: Mathematics Recommended Studies: Mathematics Extension 1 Engineers and technologists research and develop creative ways to transform renewable energy into usable power. They are vital in the design of sustainable technologies as well as their implementation. They include geothermal heat sources, carbon capture and storage, mineral sequestration, photovoltaics, polymer cells, oxyfuel technologies and wind turbines. This pathway program will allow you to build on the knowledge gained from your TAFE Associate Degree of Engineering (Renewable Energy Technologies), and finish with a Bachelor of Technology (Renewable Energy Systems) after one year of university study. Admission Requirements: Associate Degree of Engineering (Renewable Energy Technologies) from TAFE NSW (or equivalent). See website for more information.
