About this program

The Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) at Griffith University is a four-year degree that develops technical and research skills for students aiming to excel in computer science. In the early years, students study core units such as algorithms, software engineering, artificial intelligence and programming, and gain hands-on experience through labs and real-world projects. Higher-level coursework explores specialised areas like cybersecurity, data science, and advanced computing frameworks.

This honours degree includes a significant research component in the final year, where students complete a thesis on a chosen area within computer science. Students also have opportunities for work-integrated learning, engaging with Brisbane’s technology sector and building professional skills. Each year consists of unit-based study for which students earn credit points, following Griffith’s standard Australian bachelor degree structure.

Graduates develop analytical thinking, advanced programming capability, project management skills, and deep knowledge of algorithms and software systems. The course suits students interested in research, development, or leadership roles across technology sectors, including those considering postgraduate research. International students must meet Griffith’s English entry requirements as listed, with a minimum IELTS Academic overall score of 6.0–6.5 or recognised equivalents. Students should always confirm the latest details directly with Griffith University before applying.
