University of Queensland

About

Computer science combines the theoretical studies of algorithms and data structures, with the practical challenges of implementing them in hardware and software systems.

Computer science plays a key role in the creation, development, implementation and evaluation of technology.

Society relies upon computer-based systems for the operation and support of services in finance, energy, transport, health, and communications.

Note:

The BCompSc (program code:

2425) has been discontinued from 2020, as the program has undergone a restructure and has a new program code for students commencing in 2021.

Students commencing prior to 2021, should follow the course and program information for previous years.

Transitional arrangements will be provided to students towards the later part of 2020.

Students wanting to follow the 2021 structure will be required to program change and should seek academic advice prior to requesting the change.
