Computing Double Majors

Bachelor of Design

Please note: Students completing a Computing and Software Systems major starting from semester 1 2026 will need to complete the major and one of two computing specialisations in order to be eligible for accreditation. The major can be completed without a computing specialisation, but will not be accredited.

The major Handbook entry stipulates the complete requirements for the Computing and Software Systems major. Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
