Leading to: Bachelor of Computer Science

Our Bachelor of Computer Science features artificial intelligence and machine learning courses not available anywhere else in South Australia. It’s taught by world-class researchers and teachers within a faculty ranked 41 in the world for computer science and engineering.

What will you do?

Depending on your chosen major, you will:

• Explore self-driving cars, robotic vision, machine learning and image recognition
• Learn how to protect networks, data and software systems from attack and unlawful access
• Apply cutting-edge data analysis techniques—such as machine and deep learning—to large sets of data
• Design, make and study large-scale distributed software systems, including parallel, mobile and cloud-based environments.

Major: Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a high-growth industry. As more devices and systems are connecting to the Internet—creating the Internet of Things—employers are increasingly seeking graduates who can develop secure and robust systems.

In this major, you’ll learn about cybersecurity management concepts—including security operations, risk management, security engineering and security architecture—and develop advanced skills in the technologies, processes and practices that protect networks, data and software systems from attack and unauthorised access. You’ll also have the option to undertake international study tours, such as a cybersecurity tour of Estonia.

With organisations all over the world actively seeking cybersecurity experts with advanced technical skills, you’ll be well placed to pursue a highly-rewarding career in a variety of industries, including: IT and telecommunications, banking and financial services, government, intelligence, defence and law enforcement.
