Note that up to and including our 2022 intakes, many Science courses offered a choice of streams, or discipline areas, to specialise in. From 2023, these streams will be replaced with a range of specialisations, which offers you even more flexibility

Professional staff with ICT skills that complement a particular career discipline are increasingly advantageous to many industry and government sectors.

In this course you will learn how modern computer systems connect, operate and are programmed. You’ll learn the setup and maintenance of wired and wireless networks, the configuration and hardening of networked computers, and general programming.

You’ll gain the expertise to improve the efficiency of computer networks and solve network issues, particularly those relevant to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and the automation and process control that underpin Internet of Things (IoT) innovations.

The skills you’ll gain are ideal for SMEs that require agile professional staff with discipline expertise and network support skills. When you combine Information and Communication Technology with a strong industry-related discipline, you’ll be equipped with the skills to customise networks and develop proprietary industry and organisational systems.

Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things are the specialisations that best complement this degree. For details on these specialisations, and to see our full list of specialisations, visit curtin.edu/sae-special.
