Course description

This course delivers advanced skills for employment, integrating software and hardware with specialised knowledge in electronics. Students can choose computer science specialisations in artificial intelligence, data engineering, network engineering, and software engineering. In electronic engineering, they can specialise in biomedical, telecommunications, electronic systems or optical engineering, or sustainable energy production.

The course includes an opportunity for CISCO certification, an incorporated Honours year, industry experience, and practical learning. Students can access opportunities for industry-based project work in both disciplines, and also access the Faculty Industry Cadetship Program and mentoring programs. Visit Faculty website for more details.

Course structure

First-year studies include computer science, mathematics, electronics, and physics. In second and third year, students concentrate on computer science and electronics and choose subjects from a specialisation in computer science. In fourth and fifth years, students complete a computer science thesis as well as subjects and a major electronic engineering project from their chosen stream.
