Bachelor of Science & ICT

The Bachelor of Science offers ICT majors in the areas of Bioinformatics, Computational Science and Computer Science.

Computer Science is the basis of many of today's ICT study options and is becoming a critical dimension in science education. Students with an interest in scientific enquiry can apply the skills from a Computer Science major to their studies in other fields of science. Other fascinating fields of study are Bioinformatics and Computational Science. 

Advanced Study Program

Students enrolling in the UQ Science degree may apply for the Advanced Study Program for high-achieving students. The Advanced Study Program in Science provides opportunities for high-achieving first year students to enhance their University experiences through an enriched program of study. The program includes individual mentoring by a scientist, access to research laboratories in first year and exposure to creative thinkers across all disciplines.

Career pathways

Our graduates find employment in areas such as genome research, molecular science, microbial science, bioinformatics, computer science, consulting, games development, quantum computing research, and computational physics.

Professional accreditation

The ICT majors of the Bachelor of Science program are accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), the recognised association for ICT professionals, with a large and active membership. Our graduates are eligible to become associates of the ACS upon graduation and full professional members after four years of relevant experience.
