The at is designed for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary programme of study underpinned by science that delivers versatile skills relevant to multiple end-users.
Optional paths are available that emphasise commercialisation, workplace-based projects or independent study.
Computer Science is the study of computers and the work they do.
We need a science of computers because, unlike other machines, computers are general purpose; the same machine can perform many different tasks and the same tasks can be done equally well by different computers.
Because of this, the study of what a computer can do is more than the study of a particular machine.
It is the study of what can be done by a device which processes information.
Naturally Computer Science papers deal with the practical matter of making the computer do what we want it to (programming).
