What you will study
First year is a programming and computing foundation: introduction to programming, data structures, database fundamentals, web development and networking, taken alongside Notre Dame's Core Curriculum units in philosophy and ethics that anchor technology work in questions of responsibility and the common good. Small classes mean direct help as you build core coding skills. Second year specialises into an area such as software development, cybersecurity, data and analytics or systems and networks. Object-oriented programming, web frameworks and database design become more rigorous, with project-based units that mirror real workplace practice and continuing Core ethics units. Third year features a major industry-engaged capstone project, usually built around a real client brief, plus advanced major units and electives. ACS accreditation means graduates can apply for Australian Computer Society professional membership. Many students take an internship in their final year and finish remaining Core units before graduating.
