This program is offered via full-time, part-time, on-campus, in-person and online mode. To be classed as full-time, students must enrol in at least three courses per trimester.
Students must complete a 20 credit point Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course in their final year. WIL has been designed to integrate students into the workplace through the completion of an industry-based work, which is designed to benefit both the student and the industry partner. WIL can be taken as either a Placement or team-based project. With Placement, students are placed with an industry partner where students attend their placement 2 days a week to produce the deliverable(s) for that organisation. With team project, students are assigned into a team to work on a project from an industry partner. With either choice, students use their placement or team project as a vehicle to apply what they have learned in their program and demonstrate independent and life-long learning on the job.
The inclusion of work-integrated learning in this program demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life.
Students will gain direct industry experience through the completion of the core 20 credit point Work Integrated Learning course in their capstone year.
This program prepares students for possible careers opportunities such as software developer, computer programmer, web and mobile applications developer, data scientist, systems analyst, computer games programmer, software systems architect and computer scientist.
The Bachelor of Computer Science is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
It is expected that graduates will be eligible to apply to join the Australian Computer Society (ACS), and the program has been designed to specifically meet level 1 accreditation. Students and graduates can also join the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

The indicative annual tuition fee is calculated based on a standard full-time study load which is usually 80 credit points (two full-time trimesters).
The indicative annual tuition fee is based on current conditions and available data and should only be used as a guide. These fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
If the fee rate for your program is not displayed above, please contact Student Connect for assistance.
If an International student changes to a different program they will be subject to the approved program fee for the trimester in which they are enrolled.
If an undergraduate student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will be provided with a domestic fee-paying place.
The student may then apply for a Commonwealth supported place at the next admission period provided that the student satisfies the conditions for transfer from a domestic fee-paying place to a Commonwealth supported place as set out in the Undergraduate Programs Admission Policy.
If a postgraduate student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will automatically be considered for a Commonwealth supported place (subject to availability) or a domestic fee-paying place as applicable for the program.
If a research student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will automatically be considered for a Commonwealth Government Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset or a domestic fee-paying place as applicable for the program.
