Bachelors of Computer Science / Arts

About the course

This dual program combines Computer Science with Arts, letting you build strong technical foundations alongside broad, transferable skills. You’ll study algorithms, data structures and implementing solutions in software and hardware, while tailoring the Arts component with a major from many study areas. The degree suits students who want to apply computing to diverse domains and graduate with technical, critical thinking and communication strengths in a Bachelor-level computing discipline.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue roles that blend computing with arts and human-centred disciplines across technology and non-technology sectors. Career paths may include software or applications development, data analysis and programming roles supporting areas like digital humanities and bioinformatics, plus positions requiring strong communication and problem-solving skills. The dual qualification can broaden opportunities in organisations needing both technical capability and creative or analytical insight from a Bachelor-level computing background.
