Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Science - Computational Sciences

The application of science to real-world problems is increasingly multidisciplinary in nature. In many areas of scientific endeavour, from agricultural to planetary science, no single discipline is sufficient to deliver advances and innovation. This is reflected in multidisciplinary fields such as astronomy, biochemistry, bioinformatics, environmental science, forensic science and nanotechnology. In this course you will learn to apply scientific principles and concepts to real-world problems that are multidisciplinary in nature.
You’ll also learn the communication, creative, entrepreneurial and cultural awareness skills that are important in collaborative careers across industry and government. You’ll choose one of four majors to study: Computational Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Engineering Science or Physical Sciences (see course structure for details). After completing Multidisciplinary Science, you may be eligible to study for an honours degree in Science or Engineering, or a postgraduate qualification in Education. Develop real-world experience before you graduate. Learn how work-integrated learning helps you build career skills and connect with industry early. The Computational Science major introduces students to aspects modern computing. It covers fundamental programming and theoretical knowledge. Students are exposed to both theoretical and practical aspects of computing with an emphasis on the skills sought out by employers. The major introduces C and Java in the first year as the tools for learning core concepts such as object orientation and algorithms. Linux skills are taught throughout the course. Fundamental aspects of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science and Cyber Security are included in the major.
