Bachelor Programme
Computing Science
The UTS Bachelor of Computing Science is aimed at students who want technical computer science roles in industry, with a specialisation chosen inside the degree. Alongside strong programming and computing foundations, students build problem-solving, teamwork, project management and communication skills. International students take the Standard program; the cadetship-based Industry Degree Academy (IDeA) version is offered only to domestic school leavers. Typical paths include software engineer, data scientist, systems analyst, cybersecurity analyst and network specialist, and a four-year honours version (C09119) is available for research-minded students.
