Description

The BSc (Hons) Computing program equips students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required of a modern IT professional. If students want to study computing but haven't decided on a specific area of interest, this program lets them personalise their studies and prepares them for a range of graduate roles.

In years one and two students will study the foundations of computing. In addition they will develop the skills required to build computer systems utilising a range of technologies. In years three and four they will further develop expertise in core areas while being able to choose elective modules which allow them specialise in their chosen area of interest. Possible specialisations include mobile development, cloud systems development, secure software development, user experience development, advanced project management and Big Data. 

The program offers the possibility of undertaking an industry placement or to study abroad through Erasmus exchanges. Students are also encouraged to take part in activities with the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). GCU's computing programs are accredited by the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS).
