The aim of the School is to provide students with a quality learning environment, which includes not only good teaching from a committed and competent staff, but also the necessary physical resources together with a pastoral and administrative infra-structure which guides and serves students. The School seeks to promote the develop- ment of its students to enable them to enter the computing profession.
Flexibility is available in the school's courses.
There is provision for the inclusion of non-computing majors and minors in the undergraduate degrees. Because the school conducts a summer semester each year, as well as the other two usual semesters, students may accelerate the completion of their undergraduate degreee courses by the inclusion of summer study. The school's course offerings aim to be both academically sound and industrially relevant. The School is actively involved in research in the areas of computing associated with the School's focus on network computing. The School, as part of the Faculty of Information Technology, offers the expertise and resources of the largest computing faculty in Australia.
