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:

The discipline of computing is the systematic study of algorithmic processes that describe and transform information: their theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation, and application. The fundamental question underlying all the computing is 'What can be (efficiently) automated?'

At most universities, a Bachelor of Computing degree is conferred to a student after four years of full-time study (generally 120 credit hours) which include computing studies, although generally a large focus is put on the integration of computing with one of science, liberal arts, or business.

Specialisations

Specialisations of B.Comp may vary greatly, however they may include:
