This course offers a sound education in all aspects of computing science and information technology. It is intended for students who aspire to become researchers or who want a career in a more scientific-oriented computing area. As such it provides a pathway to postgraduate research study. This course adopts a practice-based approach to computing science education and the course content is a mix of theory and practice with a stronger focus on the mathematics appropriate for computing science and research projects. As well as gaining strong technical skills in computing science and IT, students gain skills in problem solving, teamwork and communication. Students undertake research projects with UTS researchers. Employers look for graduates with strong computing science skills and, in this course, students are exposed to real research problems in computing science and IT. Course aims The course aims to produce graduates who are able to apply, in the context of any organisation, the knowledge and skills required of: information technology professionals who develop systems from first principles computing specialists for technical research careers, both in industry and academia, or data scientists who interrogate complex datasets. Careers Career options include software developer, systems analyst, data scientist or professional computing science researcher.
