Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

An honours degree is a one-year program that builds upon undergraduate study by introducing the challenge of an extended research project.

There are many reasons we encourage graduates to apply for an honours year. You might want to build a necessary foundation for postgraduate research. You could be seeking computer-based solutions to problems in industry, commerce, science, entertainment, or the public sector. Perhaps you’re pursuing advanced communication skills and subject knowledge to gain a competitive edge in the job market.

Our researchers work at the cutting edge of science and technology within a faculty ranked 43 in the world for computer science and engineering. Our prerequisite for honours study is at least a credit standard GPA.
