Why Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours)?
Programming languages are the hidden systems behind our everyday technologies. They offer endless possibilities for innovation and problem-solving.
Programming languages are sets of instructions that tell computers how to perform specific tasks. Discover how to build software systems of varying complexities and different purposes at Adelaide University.
Explore how to create everything from web pages to complex AI systems. Learn the theoretical and mathematical concepts that unlock solutions to modern problems. Become an expert coder guided by industry-informed and advanced research practices. Embracing programming languages means embracing the ability to shape the digital world around us. Look further than just writing code – translate human imagination into technological reality.

Overview
The Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) majoring in Programming Languages will not only expand your knowledge but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You won’t just learn how to become an expert coder, you’ll gain insights into effective programming languages and reliable software systems that will build Australia’s future.
You will unlock what is currently trending in the tech world, and how industry is responding. You’ll also develop software that tackles any expected challenges. An industry-focused project in third year prepares you to make connections with important leaders in the field. Your thesis project offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into an area that fascinates you, potentially contributing new insights to the world of tech, either in industry or research.
Graduate from Adelaide University ready to take your place as a computing professional. Showcase your skills in coding and craft reliable software systems to some of the world’s largest innovators in technology.
Key features
Broaden your knowledge in key computer science theories.
Gain a deep understanding of programming language differences and similarities.
Develop innovative algorithms to tackle societal issues.
Build a comprehensive understanding of the limits and strengths of computing technology.
Connect with industry through a major research project.
Develop advanced research and technical expertise in an intensive Honours year.
What you'll learn
Learn a common first year among our suite of computer science degrees, building your skillset in fundamental practices before starting your major in second year. Then, you’ll focus on languages models, programming paradigms and advanced language concepts. You’ll gain confidence in tackling challenges when building code and crafting unique solutions.
You’ll be able to complete majority of first year common courses and second year courses at either our Adelaide City or Mawson Lakes Campus with some potential cross-campus study required. Throughout your degree, you’ll gain access to cutting-edge facilities across both campus locations to enhance your overall learning experience.
Our expert academics will guide you on best practices to grasp concepts of programming new and existing languages by practising writing code in dedicated computer labs.
A third-year industry-based project will see you working in partnership with an Adelaide University partner to create an innovative artefact in response to a real-world problem. Working in a small group will mean you develop valuable teamwork and communication skills – beneficial to your future career.
In your culminating Honours year, you’ll hone your research skills in a computer science thesis on a topic of your choice. You’ll also work collaboratively with mentors and researchers to address a complex, open-ended question in the field. Additionally, you'll have the flexibility to select specialised Honours electives that align with the latest research advancements in programming languages and related fields.
Once complete, you’ll be eligible for professional membership with the Australian Computer Society (ACS).
