A 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 Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Computer Science or Information Technology, a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (B.Sc IT.) or a Bachelor of Computer Science (B.CS.).
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 placed on the integration of computing with either science, liberal arts, or business.[citation needed]
Potential specialisations within a B.Comp. vary greatly, and may include: Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Information Technology, Management Information Systems, Medical Informatics, Medical Imaging, Multimedia, or Software Engineering.
A Bachelor of Computing integrated with science can lead to various professional careers, ranging from data analysis and cyber security analysis to game designing and developing.[1] Other fields in which this degree could be useful include business analysis, IT training, nanotechnology and network engineering.[1]
