COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced) is a distinctive degree for highly capable students who want to tackle global questions in computer science and information technology.
The program is taught by world-class researchers and teachers within a faculty ranked 43 in the world for computer science and engineering. It features artificial intelligence and machine learning courses not available anywhere else in South Australia.
Students commencing in July may have a slightly limited selection of courses.
What will you do?
You will apply your skills to real-world challenges through self-directed learning and practical projects. Depending on your chosen major, you will:
- explore self-driving cars, robotic vision, machine learning and image recognition
- learn how to protect networks, data and software systems from attack and unlawful access
- apply cutting-edge data analysis techniques-such as machine and deep learning-to large sets of data
- design, make and study large-scale distributed software systems, including parallel, mobile and cloud-based environments.
Career Readiness
Graduates are highly regarded by employers and have been successful in a wide variety of areas. Employment opportunities can be found in administration, business data processing, computer programming, computer science, engineering design, financial software, games programming, graphics programming, information technology management, Internet commerce, network management, quality improvement, scientific data analysis, systems analysis, software engineering, real-time process control and user interface programming.
Students in this advanced degree have many opportunities to develop and showcase their talents to future employers.

Areas of Specialisation:
Majors are available across the following areas:
Artificial Intelligence: Learn from academics within the Institute of Machine Learning, driving the fourth industrial revolution. In this major, students learn how to design, develop, and analyse software systems to perform tasks requiring human intelligence such as: self-driving cars, robotic vision, machine learning, and image recognition.
Computer Science: This major allows students to take a flexible elective program across all areas of computer science.
Cybersecurity: Build skills and awareness of the technologies, processes, and practices that protect networks, data, and software systems from unauthorised attack or access. Students learn from Learn from our work leading academics in the area of CyberSecurity including the discoverers of Spectre, one of the most significant CyberSecurity developments in the last decade.
Data Science: Data science involves the application of data analysis techniques such as machine learning and deep learning to large sets of data, helping solve problems across health, education, science, engineering, and business. The University of Adelaide leads the way in global education in Big Data and Data Science.
Distributed Systems and Networking: Build skills in the design, development, and analysis of large-scale distributed software systems including parallel, distributed, mobile, cloud-based environments and building smart cities.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The University of Adelaide unites and serves those striving to change the world—and themselves—for the better. It’s a place where history is made.Established in 1874, we’re home to over 29,000 students and 3,000 staff, all striving to create progress. For our community. For all. This is a university of outstanding quality—ranked as a top 100 global university—in the heart of the city of Adelaide.We were our country’s first university to welcome female students. The first to teach science and business. Our alumni have won Nobel Prizes, led the nation, and walked in space.
