Program Overview

Explore the design and construction of software systems alongside the latest business information systems when you choose UC’s Bachelor of Software Engineering/Bachelor of Business Informatics double degree.

You’ll get to pursue your interests while completing an industry-accredited qualification. Recognised by the Australian Computer Society, this cutting-edge course offers the ability to choose subjects from a range of specialty areas, such as computer security, network computing, games development, cloud computing, digital  skills, data science and intelligence systems.

Helping you to become an exceptional software engineer will be work placement opportunities with UC’s industry partners, and the final year research project that will see you produce and implement a real-world engineering solution for a real business.

Study a Bachelor of Software Engineering/Bachelor of Business Informatics at UC and you will:

• Understand the methodology of software systems engineering using analysis and specification methods such as UML, XML, structured and soft systems methodologies
• Learn to design and build systems and software using specialist engineering tools
• Work within modern development environments that include Windows, Linux, mobile and cloud computing
• Gain knowledge in business processes and associated work practices, requirements and information needs
• Acquire theoretical knowledge to reflect critically on professional practice in the areas of business analysis, change management and implementation, project management and business strategy, and the planning of information systems
• Analyse and evaluate complex problems in a range of different information systems situations
• Acquire a range of software engineering and business informatics research frameworks and skills.

Specialist Major: Robotics and AI

The integration of robotic systems with artificial intelligence will produce a new generation of workers and companions; it is no longer the "stuff" of science fiction, but rather a scientific reality! This niche major in Robotics and AI will exploit the synergies between these two areas. The major will offer a grounding in intelligent systems and the chance to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. The students will have the opportunity to have an intensive, extended work-integrated learning experience, in addition to the capstone project, which will allow them to hone their practical expertise in AI and robotics engineering. With access to humanoid robots, robotic arms, mobile robotic platforms and other technology, the graduates will develop the specialist knowledge and skills demanded by employers in the fast-growing AI and robotic industries, which is also relevant to the wider range of applications needing automation and artificial intelligence, including autonomous and mechatronic systems in manufacturing and healthcare.
