Department of Computing

Degrees Offered

A degree in computing from Macquarie University prepares you for an interesting and challenging career in one of the most dynamic areas of modern technology. Computing courses can cover a wide range of areas related to information technology (IT), from IT business and management skills, through programming skills to studies and experience in software or electronic and communication engineering. The core of Computer Science focuses on studying algorithms, data structures and the principles of software engineering.

All of these areas are well represented in Macquarie Computing degrees, and students can choose greater or lesser weight according to their interests. Opportunities exist for specialisation, or to incorporate a broader range of disciplines into their studies.

Study Patterns

Prior to 2010, various `study patterns' have been established, ranging from those allowing considerable freedom of choice around a specified minimum content, to those concentrating on a particular specialisation. Study patterns combine these units and ones from other disciplines into coherent degree programs and describe the minimal requirements necessary to get a degree. The main computing study patterns are available as separate documents.

Please refer to the Handbook for study patterns for 2009.
