Course Information

Program the future

  • Ready to take your place in the technology revolution?

  • 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 43 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.

Majors are available in:

  • Artificial intelligence

  • Computer science

  • Cybersecurity

  • Data science

  • Distributed systems and networking.

You can also choose a flexible program with a little bit of everything, from gaming and graphics to computer vision and software engineering.

Where could it take you

  • No matter how technology transforms the jobs market, computer science skills will be crucial. You could design robots or collective virtual reality spaces. You might work at Google as a software engineer. Perhaps you’ll legally break into systems as a white hat hacker to test their security.
