Why is this course for me? Do you ever wonder how Google, Skype, internet banking or computer games work? Would you like to develop the next generation of cutting- edge computing technologies? If you’re a logical thinker who likes problem solving and you enjoy subjects like Mathematics, a degree in Computer Science could be for you. Computer scientists have advanced data compression technology that inspired the digital media revolution, e.g. DVDs, mp3s and YouTube video streaming.
What will I study? Tis is a sample pathway for a degree in Computer Science. Topics include advanced soft- ware engineering, mobile application develop- ment, networks and Internet systems and web multimedia. Students learn programming lan- guages such as Java, C++, Perl and Ruby; markup languages such as HTML, XML; Internet tech- nologies such as ASP, PHP and Flash; graphics languages such as OpenGL and VRML. Students will also use both Windows and Linux/Unix operating systems.
