Bachelor of Computing Science

The Standard program includes all the same subjects and learning as the IDeA program but follows a traditional university study path. The IDeA (Industry Degree Academy) program combines university study with real industry experience through a cadetship, meaning you study and work at the same time. The IDeA program is only available to domestic students and is offered for Autumn session intake only, whereas the Standard program is open to both domestic and international students and is typically offered for both Autumn and Spring session intakes.

For 2026, the indicative first-year tuition fee for government-supported domestic students is $9,537.00 AUD, and the indicative total tuition fee over the full three-year degree is $29,332.00 AUD. All offers for domestic undergraduate students are for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP), meaning the Australian Government contributes to education costs. Eligible students can defer payment through HECS-HELP or pay upfront each session.

Core subjects include Communication for IT Professionals, Programming 1 and 2, Web Systems, Business Requirements Modelling, Network Fundamentals, Database Fundamentals, Project Management and the Professional, Professional Practice in Computing, Discrete Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms, Theory of Computing Science, Mathematics 1, Advanced Algorithms, and a Capstone subject. You can see all subjects and majors in the UTS Handbook.
