Bachelor of Science (BSc) / Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (BCMS): Computer Science

Computer scientists look at ways to systematically

describe and transform information.

Studying Computer Science at Waikato you’ll learn about software

systems and how people and computers interact, how to create new

software, how to ensure it works well and does what it is supposed to,

and how to make it easy for people to use.

A Computer Science qualification will prepare you for a career in

entertainment, industry, business, education and government.

The knowledge and practical skills learnt during study will support

development in all of these areas. Ongoing progress in computer

technology means that there is a steady need for more qualified

computer professionals.

COMPUTER SCIENCE AT WAIKATO

Computer Science can be studied through the three-year BSc and

the four-year BCMS. The computer facilities available to students

are among the best in New Zealand, ranking from phones and tablets

for mobile app development, to cluster computers for massively

parallel processing. Because our degrees are highly practical, you’ll

begin working with these facilities right from your first semester.

A major in Computer Science is flexible, allowing you to specialise

within one of the areas listed above, or to complete a more

generalist major. These specialisations are carefully designed to

ensure you have a good mastery of a particular area of Computer

Science and will equip you with the skills you need to succeed in

your chosen career.

Additionally, because the first three years of the BCMS are identical

to the BSc, you can choose when you would like to graduate. You

have the option to graduate after three years with a BSc in Computer

Science, or stay on for an extra year and complete a BCMS.

The extra year available through the BCMS gives you the chance to

drill more deeply into your specialist area, and to undertake an honours

research project in collaboration with a research/teaching Computer

Science staff member.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

While there are no specific subjects you need to study at secondary

school to study Computer Science at Waikato, NCEA Computing/

Digital Technologies and Mathematics are very useful. Each

year the Faculty also award up to 10 scholarships to the best

performing secondary school students, as determined by our yearly

Scholarship exams.
