Graduates will be able to administer and manage these networks and will have an understanding of the legal and organisational issues that have become critical for successful implementation of network applications. Students take core subjects in areas which include Java programming, computer equipment and operating systems, systems analysis and design, data communications and networks, web-site development, and distributed information systems. Students are also expected to complete an industrial project. A range of relevant computing electives are available, and electives may be chosen from a non-computing area such as accounting, management, marketing, international trade, education and arts. The School of Network Computing conducts three semesters each year, through the inclusion of a summer semester.
Some students use the summer semester to accelerate their degree.
Professional recognition Graduates of this degree qualify for the knowledge requirements of the professional membership grades of the Australian Computer Society. The Bachelor of Software Engineering aims to produce quality, world-class graduates in this rapidly developing discipline. The focus of the course is the design and construction of large software systems, and the engineering of these systems subject to various constraints such as cost, time and risk management. The degree has been specifically designed in response to industry demand to produce graduate software engineers with large-scale software systems project capability. The demand for software engineers is expected to increase quickly with the widespread adoption of the Internet and the use of computer systems to handle information processing needs in almost every aspect of society.
