Common Questions
Students may graduate with a Role Specialisation recorded on their academic transcript. Available specialisations include Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Cyber-Security Engineer, Software Engineer, and Software Test Engineer. Competencies are developed and evidenced through targeted content in both the Simulated Consultancy and Career Pathways streams, providing employers with a clear, role-specific understanding of a graduate's skills, experience, and workplace readiness.
International applicants must meet one of the following English language requirements: IELTS (Academic) with an overall score of 6.5 and no band less than 6.0; PTE Academic with an overall score of 58 and no sub-score less than 50; TOEFL iBT with an overall score of 79 including minimum scores in each skill area; or TOEFL PBT with an overall score of 550 including Writing 4.5. English test results must be valid and taken within three years prior to course commencement.
The Bachelor of Computing is a three-year (144 credit point) degree comprising three integrated streams that run in parallel throughout the program: the Core Units Stream (72 credit points), the Simulated Consultancy Stream (36 credit points), and the Career Pathways Stream (36 credit points). Clear integration points exist between and across all streams, ensuring theory is consistently applied in practice.
The Simulated Consultancy Stream embeds students in a simulated professional IT consulting company throughout the degree. Students progress through a structured sequence of roles — Intern, Junior Consultant, and Senior Consultant. Across each stage, students work on real-world consultancy projects, which — where possible — are sourced from industry clients. Projects require students to integrate theoretical knowledge from core units and apply it to practical, real-world problems, supported by workshops and seminars focused on developing professional and workplace capabilities.
All SPI students can access a complimentary membership with the Australian Computer Society (ACS) — Australia's largest tech association. This provides students with industry connections, career resources, and professional development opportunities while they study.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
