Overview

This degree combines the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing with a formal year of industrial training in the Information Technology industry, recognised by the Diploma of Information Technology Professional Practice. There is no direct entry to this course. Students normally enrol in the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing and apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing, Diploma of Information Technology Professional Practice program before commencing the Diploma of Information Technology Professional Practice component of the program.

Course duration

The degree is offered as a full-time course over four years and as a part-time course over six years.

Course structure

The Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing, Diploma of Information Technology Professional Practice is offered jointly with the Faculty of Information Technology as a Pass degree requiring the completion of subjects with a total value of 156 credit points. The course consists of 144 credit points of academic study in the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing plus 12 credit points of study in the Diploma in Information Technology Professional Practice. Students who graduate from the course at a sufficiently high standard are eligible to enter either the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematics or the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Information Technology course (offered by the Faculty of Information Technology).

Course program

Full-time program

Years 1, 2 and 4 of the full-time program are identical to years 1, 2 and 3 (respectively) of the Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing full-time course program. Students may choose to follow a generic program, or to specialise in one of the mathematical sciences of Quantitative Management Science or Statistics. Year 3 of the BMathComp, DipInfTechProfPrac consists of a combination of industrial training and reflection upon the experience gained during this training. The course program for this year (below) recognises both components.
