Part time available. Electives may be chosen from a wide variety of other disciplines, for example a digital electronics stream is available for students with a physics background. Subjects in later years include artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer networks, operating systems, graphics, computer design. At all year levels there is a focus on the cultivation of practical skills together with assimilation of the relevant scientific and engineering principles. Although most project work is completed on an individual basis,there are opportunities for group project work, especially in the later years.
Teaching methods involve a combination of lectures, tutorials, and practical work.
Tutorials are provided at all years of the course. At first year, most practical work is carried out in supervised laboratories with staff on hand to offer assistance. In the more senior years most of the practical work is carried out independently with consulting assistance available at specified times. Laboratories are equipped with modern computing facilities and are accessible to students from early morning to late evening. Please refer to the detailed course information in the official University Handbook.
