About Computer Science and Software Engineering

Computer Science and Software Engineering offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate, masters and research programs. We offer students industry based learning and new approaches to the development of software such as outsourcing/offshoring and specialist knowledge in emerging areas such as .NET, J2EE, security and agile methods. Computer science and software engineering students develop a broad skill range to prepare them for successful entry into the global software industry.

The Centre for Molecular Simulation (CMS) is also an important contributor to computational science degrees offered by Swinburne University. The goal of the centre is to develop and use molecular simulation to provide fundamental insights into natural phenomena at the atomic level.
