Today's digital artist requires a firm grounding in digital imaging, digital sound production, internet technologies, critical theory and cultural context. The goal of this degree is to produce graduates who are competent at solving real world problems using computers. At a reasonably advanced level, the core units of the course will address the mathematical modelling of problems in science and industry, and the analysis and numerical computation of the mathematical equations so derived. The course will introduce students to modern computing languages, programming techniques and subroutine libraries as well as the high performance computing systems. The ANU BSc specialising in materials offers students the opportunity to combine their skills and interests in different fields of science and technology.
All options can lead to a fourth year of honours for meritorious students.
