Bachelor of Computing (B.Comp.) is a bachelor's degree in Computing. This degree is offered only in some universities, and is slightly different from a B.Sc. in Computer Science or Information Technology or B.Sc IT. or a B.CS..
The following definition of Computing is given in the ACM report Computing As a Discipline
Specialisations
Specialisations of B.Comp may vary greatly, however they may include:
- Cognitive Science
- Computer Science
- Information Technology
- Management Information Systems
- Medical Informatics
- Medical Imaging
- Multimedia
- Software Engineering

National University of Singapore, School of Computing
National University of Singapore (NUS) has a School of Computing (SoC) which offers Bachelor of Computing (Honours). The available specializations are Communications and Media, Computational Biology, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electronic Commerce and Information Systems. The Bachelor of Computing degree can be obtained in conjunction with another degree (double degree programme) or together with a minor in another discipline, subject to approval by the school. Two of its programmes, Computer Science and Information Systems, are certified by ABET to be "substantially equivalent" to accredited programmes in the United States.
North America
Queen's University School of Computing
Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, offers the Bachelor of Computing (B.Cmp.) and the Bachelor of Computing (Honours) (B.Cmp.H.) degrees. Four Honours specializations are available: Biomedical Computing, Cognitive Science, Software Design, and Computer Science. An Honours degree can also be obtained with a major in Computing, and a Minor or "General" specialization in Computing can be added to other arts and science degrees.
Multi-Disciplinary Programs
Queen's University offers students an enormous range of programs combining a significant concentration in Computing with other subjects.
The Biomedical Computing program (code BMCO) combines a strong Computing and Math component, foundational courses in the life sciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Pharmacology), and specialized courses in Computational Biology and Medical Informatics (17.5 core credits plus 2.5 elective credits).
Cognitive Science (code COGS) combines Computing and Math with Cognitive Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (16 core credits plus 4 elective credits).
Computing and the Creative Arts (code COCA) is a Special Field program combining a concentration in Computing with a concentration in one of four Arts subjects: Art, Drama, Film, and Music.
There are also so-called medial programs (code MED) combining a 7-credit Computing concentration with 7-credit concentrations in any of the natural and physical sciences, Math, or Statistics (Bachelor of Science, honours), or any of the social sciences, humanities, or languages (Bachelor of Arts, honours), plus 6 elective credits.
The Major-General (code MJG) and Major-Minor (code MJM) degrees allow a student to combine a major concentration (10 credits) in one subject with a general concentration (typically 8 credits) or a minor concentration (typically 6 credits), respectively, in another subject.
