About this program

The Bachelor of Computing Science (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is designed for students who wish to develop advanced knowledge and skills in computer science, while gaining substantial research experience. Over four years of full-time study, this honours degree offers a rigorous curriculum covering core computing science principles, programming, algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational theory, along with opportunities to specialise in areas aligned with industry demands.

The Australian bachelor honours degree structure at UTS consists of units of study distributed over eight semesters, with each unit contributing a set number of credit points towards the degree. The course is characterised by an honours year in its final stage, culminating in a significant individual research thesis or capstone project, where students develop and showcase research and project management skills. Throughout the programme, students engage with work-integrated learning opportunities, including internships or industry placements within Sydney's vibrant tech sector, facilitating practical experience and valuable professional connections.

Students hone skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, advanced programming, data analysis, research methodologies, and effective communication, preparing them for both technical and research-intensive roles. The degree is well-suited for those aiming for careers in software development, data science, academic research, or those intending to pursue postgraduate study. International applicants must meet English language requirements, such as an IELTS Academic score of 6.0–6.5 overall or equivalent qualifications recognised by UTS. Students have the right to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation.
