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: Cloud Computing and IoT
The major in Cloud Computing and IoT provides an opportunity for the students to gain deep knowledge and specialist technical knowledge and practical skills in Cloud Computing and Internet of Things (IoT), which are two pervasive technologies that are both already part of our life. Their adoption and use are expected to be more and more pervasive, making them important components of the Future Internet. In this major, the graduates will be able to learn the benefits of Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT), and the integration of the Cloud and IoT paradigms. They will have a sound understanding of Cloud and IoT individually and combine. More precisely, students will understand their main properties, features, underlying technologies, open issues, application development life-cycle, challenges, and research issues, and learning how to work with the massive volumes of data generated in the digital economy. This major also provides opportunities for an intensive, extended work-integrated learning experience; and the capstone project allows graduates to practice both their Cloud and IoT skills. This major allows graduates to seek roles as Cloud Computing architects and administrators, IoT engineers, developers, and designers.
