Program Overview

Computer scientists focus on the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to computation and its applications. They design methods, tools and write programs for computer applications used in Artificial Intelligence (AI), stock market trend analysis, cyber security and patient monitoring in hospitals and more.
 
During your study, you will study the fundamentals of computer science and IT: programming, problem-solving, network and communications, web technology, data management, system analysis, human-computer interaction, and project management.

Major: Digital Systems Security

Information and systems security is becoming increasingly important for everyday life with the expectation that technology will protect our digital information such as IDs, assets and online privacy for individuals, homes, families and offices. Employees with skills in information and systems security are in strong demand across all sectors.
 
Computer scientists design methods and tools and write programs for computer applications. These applications can be in areas such as computer systems to control machinery, information management and big data, applications for mobile devices and more.

The digital systems security major focuses on the theoretical and practical applications of information and digital security across a range of subjects: operating systems security such as physical security, file and data protection, heterogeneous computing, systems architecture, cryptography and its secure applications, and network and telecommunications security.
 
In first year, you will find your strengths and interests as you study the fundamentals of computer science and IT: programming, problem solving, network and communications, web technology, data management, system analysis, human–computer interaction, and project management. While in second year, you will begin your major. You will also complete a final-year capstone team project.

Additionally, you can choose to study a double degree with engineering, mathematics, or science, providing you with a broad experience using various industry products such as Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, SAP and Cisco.

Throughout the Bachelor of Computer Science (Digital Systems Security) you will study real-world projects and interact with and learn from industry professionals to ensure your career-readiness upon graduation.
