Overview

Bachelor of Computer Science

As digital disruption continues to reshape our personal and professional lives, businesses are looking for graduates who'll help to evolve their products and systems.

Carefully aligned to meet industry needs, the Bachelor of Computer Science will help you gain the technical skills to adapt to emerging technologies across an increasingly digital world. 

You'll choose from three majors – artificial intelligence, software engineering or cloud analytics – so you can prepare for a specialised career in computer science.

As well as your technical subjects, you'll also build the human skills you need for the workplace. 

Think project management, critical thinking, problem-solving and communication. These are the transferable skills you'll need to be employable and carve a path of success throughout your career.

Access La Trobe expert research centres, including: 

the Centre for Technology Infusion, the Optus Cyber Security Research Centre and a state-of-the-art research lab for the Internet of Things – one of the largest in Victoria, proudly developed in collaboration with Microsoft and CISCO.

You'll use your computer science know-how to solve real-world problems with industry-based learning and mentoring opportunities with major corporations. 

You could take on an industry-based project with leading organisations like Microsoft, Coles, the Australian Ballet and Incitec Pivot Limited – as students have done in the past.

Show off your work at the annual IT and Engineering Showcase, where prospective employers will see what you've done. 

Or you could choose to undertake an applied research project, developing the skills you need to succeed in research.

Capstone subjects are required subjects in your course or major that help you integrate and apply the knowledge and skills you gain to solve real world problems. 

You can choose one of the following majors after your study commencing:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cloud analytics
  • Data science
  • Software engineering
