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.
