Planning Your Degree
The
School of Engineering and Computer Science is responsible for Victoria's
Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree, and two majors in the
Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree. The school also
offers a Computer Science major in the
Graduate Diploma in Science (GDipSc), aimed at
professionals seeking to obtain an academic qualification.
Victoria's BE is a four year professional honours degree focused on the design and implementation of real world systems, and includes an essential grounding in management skills. The degree provides three specialisations covering the science and technology of today's
digital world: electronic and computer system engineering, network engineering and software
engineering. Engineering is a profession, and our BE includes the development of a professional
approach and the acceptance of professional responsibilities. At Victoria you will be taught by men
and women who are actively engaged in research, who extend the boundaries of knowledge and are
passionate about transmitting their excitement about their chosen profession to you. If you are looking
for a career that is challenging, rewarding and enjoyable, come and join us at Victoria's School of
Engineering and Computer Science.
The Computer Science major and Electronic and Computer Systems major in the BSc share much of the design and implementation focus of the BE. However, they are much more flexible
degrees with fewer specific requirements, and only requiring three years of study. Both majors can be
easily combined with any other major in the BSc programme, enabling a multi-disciplinary approach
to learning.
The Computer Science major in the GDipSc is aimed at professionals wanting a formal qualification in computer science. The programme is ideally suited for those who can only commit
to part-time learning. The programme would also appeal to graduates in other subjects who did a few
computer science courses in their degree, professional computer programmers and software
engineers with several years experience, and professionals in fields that are making increased use of
computers.
