Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology and Bachelor of Science

Due to the circumstances around COVID-19, you will begin your studies online.

However, when Government guidelines change, on-campus studies will be reintroduced.Information and communications technology (ICT) has been driving profound methodological changes in science over the last few decades.

A significant part of scientific enquiry now relies on computational approaches to complement theory and experiment.

This combined degree merges the study of ICT with any of the emerging or traditional areas of science.

The degree provides students with an opportunity to gain qualifications that will provide more breadth and offer wider opportunities for employment.The Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology delivers knowledge and skills across Information Technology (IT), Computer Science (CS) and Information Systems (IS) with both a theoretical and practical focus.

It develops technological understanding and skills that are in high demand world-wide, plus builds project management and other business soft-skills that make you an ICT professional.The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a multi-disciplinary degree which offers both variety and flexibility in subject choice and specialisation.

It provides an effective entry into employment as skills obtained by science graduates problem-solving, critical thinking, team work, specialised subject knowledge and understanding are highly sought after and valued by employers.
