Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering)
B.CScSE
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 3 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
This three-year program was developed in recognition of the need to produce graduates with specific training in Software Engineering. Graduates will gain the necessary skills for work in this area, including the organisational and project management skills vital for a successful career. They will also have a strong foundation in the fundamentals of computing and gain valuable experience in designing, constructing and testing large software systems through extensive project work.
The role of software engineers is increasingly vital in all aspects of transforming ideas into professional software solutions. Graduates from this program will be able to analyse problems and apply software engineering techniques to design computer-based solutions for a wide range of applications. They will be competent programmers in one or more programming languages and have a firm understanding of the relationship between software and hardware. Graduates will be trained for employment in the wide range of fields requiring software engineering skills, including data analysis, information management, data processing, real-time process control, embedded systems, computer graphics and visualisation.
Students who perform well can undertake an additional year of study to obtain a Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours. The honours degree can provide access to postgraduate study and a wider range of professional opportunities in the computing industry.
Students wishing to enter the Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) apply through SATAC for a place in the Bachelor of Computer Science. A transfer to the Software Engineering program can be undertaken at any time during the student’s enrolment provided the correct courses have been either completed or are to be completed. Students apply for transfer via the Faculty Office.

The study plans
given are examples of pathways through this degree. For a complete description,
see the program rules.
| Level I |
|---|

Semester 1
Semester 2
**Level I Maths requirement: Students are encouraged to satisfy the Level I Maths requirement by doing Maths IA followed by Maths IB, as above and to take MATHS 1008 Mathematics for Information Technology I as a level I elective. Note however that the prerequisite for Maths IA is either SACE Stage 2 Specialist Maths (or equivalent) or the University course MATHS 1013 Mathematics IMA, so some students will need to successfully complete Maths IMA prior to doing Maths IA followed by Maths IB. Alternatively, a student can satisfy the Level I Maths requirement by just doing the course MATHS 1008 Mathematics for Information Technology I, offered in Sem 2. *Students are encouraged to do both Puzzle Based Learning and Internet Computing, although only one of these two is required under the Academic Program Rules of the degree. |

** Students are encouraged to do these courses, although they are not specifically required under the Academic Program Rules of the degree. Note that Programming Techniques is assumed knowledge for Software Engineering and Project. Electives: At each level, electives can be chosen from courses offered at that level towards a degree program at the University, provided that the student is eligible to do that course e.g. has satisfied the prerequiste/s, the course is not offered exclusively for a program other than the B Comp Sc. |
Graduates are highly regarded by employers and have been successful in a wide variety of areas. Employment opportunities are provided in areas of administration, business data processing, computer programming, computer science, engineering design, financial software, games programming, graphics programming, information technology management, internet commerce, defence, and database and information systems management and software engineering.
The Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). It is designed to provide a professional qualification in computing and information technology. It also provides the necessary academic requirements for membership of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American-based Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
