Note: Students are advised
that subject contents and course structures in the School of IT
are currently under review and that this may result in minor changes
in 2003. The subject description for CP subjects may differ from
the descriptions in this Handbook, as may the course structures
for the BInfTech and the BSc (Computer Science). Students are advised
to verify subject and course specifications from the school web
site, www.it.jcu.edu.au prior to enrolment.
This is a flexible degree introduced to meet
the job market’s increasing needs for IT graduates.
The degree combines a solid basis of computing science theory
with practical knowledge and skills in software (languages), software
engineering,
multimedia and networking. Specialisation is provided in the seven
majors of Industry Professional, Bioinformatics, Business Computing,
General Computing, E-Business Entrepreneurship, Computer Technology
and Geographic Information Systems.
