Charles Sturt University's Bachelor of Computer Science (with specialisation) is a dynamic course that will equip you to become an expert programmer. You'll graduate with the skills to take a software application from concept to reality in object-oriented programming, games programming and the development of apps for mobile and other devices.

A degree with clout

Charles Sturt University's computer science course has an excellent national reputation, with a research profile that is ranked at world level according to the most recent Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) evaluation in 2015.

Flexibility at its core

Choose between full-time, part-time and online study options to match your work and lifestyle commitments. You can study at a Charles Sturt University campus, a Charles Sturt University Study Centre or online from almost anywhere in the world. You can speed up or slow down your study pace to meet your changing professional and personal needs. And you could cut the overall length and cost of your course by obtaining recognition of prior study – in some cases, waiving up to half of the degree.

Choose your speciality

If you follow the Games Programming specialisation, your subjects will focus on the latest in games design, programming apps for Android, programming games engines such as Unity, and computer graphics. When you choose the Computer Science stream you can select from subjects reflecting the latest developments in cloud computing, mobile application development, computer security and more. High-achieving graduates may also elect to join a computer science Honours program.

Strong industry ties

Our dedicated teaching staff have strong research backgrounds and collaborate closely with industry. If you're studying on campus, you'll have opportunities to visit industry sites and work on two projects based on real-world industry situations.
