Bachelor of Computing (B.Comp.) is a bachelor's degree in Computing. This degree is offered in a small number of universities, and varies slightly from a B.Sc. in Computer Science or Information Technology or B.Sc IT. or a B.CS.
The definition of Computing has been given in the following 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?'
Most universities confer a Bachelor of Computing degree to a student after four years of full-time study (generally 120 credit hours) has been completed. This can include units regarding computing studies, however a large focus is put on the integration of computing with either science, liberal arts, or business.
Job Prospects
A Bachelor of Computing integrated with science can provide many job prospects ranging from data analysis and cyber security analysis to game designing and developing.[1] Other prospects where this degree can be useful include, business analysis, IT training, nanotechnology and network engineering.[1]
