Computer science provides solutions to the ever-increasing information challenges in the modern world. Organisations need people who can extract information from the massive datasets generated by banking, commerce and social networks and analyse it to affect real change. Big data is a new frontier in the commercial world. Combining commerce and computer science gives you the skills to harness big data and commercialise digital innovations or intellectual property. Or you can use your theoretical and practical computing expertise to design and build efficient software solutions for the commercial sector. You have the opportunity to explore areas of interest or develop new ones, or combine your majors to develop key skills. • Combine econometrics or actuarial studies with your computational and mathematical flair to create cutting-edge software for the commercial sector • Pair accounting or marketing with computer science to develop new technical products or software designed specifically for accountants and marketers • Specialise in data science and artificial intelligence and learn how to build and use analytical tools and simulation software to visualise and interpret commercial data. • Specialise in cybersecurity and apply this expert knowledge and skills to provide practical applications and solutions to address the cyber challenges faced by the commercial sector.
Structure
You must complete 192 credit points of which 96 credit points are from the Bachelor of Commerce (including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B, and Part C for the single degree) and 96 credit points from the Bachelor of Computer Science (including all of the requirements in Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D for the single degree). In this double degree you will complete one major in the Bachelor of Commerce (B2001) and a specialisation in the Bachelor of Computer Science (C2001). Where you have space in your degree you may complete an additional major. Some majors, minors and specialisations include the same units. Where this occurs, up to 12 credit points may be shared between: - two majors; or - a major and a minor; or - a specialisation and a major or minor. Note: Units can only count toward one minor. They cannot be shared across multiple minors. Units are 6 credit points unless otherwise specified.
