Bachelor of Technology

The Bachelor of Technology degree is for the future technologists who will build and secure the networks of the future (Cyber Network Security) and bring about the 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) and inform and drive business solutions (Principles of Data Science).

During your first year you will study programming, mathematics, electronics and web programming. You will then move on to specialise in either Industry 4.0, cyber network security, or principles of data science.

Specialisations: 

• Industry 4.0 - study autonomous systems, IoT, big data mining techniques and implementation, and cyber security or AI. 
• Cyber Network Security - study subjects in ethical hacking, communication systems, engineering design, electronics, digital hardware, web technology and signals and systems. 
• Principles of Data Science - you will study subjects in statistics, random variables, data mining, management, and programming. 

This degree is for innovators and problem-solvers with an interest in developing skills across the fields of software, hardware, and data science to work in the industries of the future. 

Industry 4.0 is the Fourth Industrial Revolution and refers to the automation, networking and securing of industrial and manufacturing processes. Industries must be flexible in adapting to technology changes, and leveraging off new opportunities to remain globally competitive. 

A specialisation in Industry 4.0 will provide you with the technology skills to automate, network and implement Artificially Intelligent systems.
