Core subjects

Computer Architecture and Operating Systems | CAO107

This subject examines the design, organisation, and operation of modern computer systems from both a hardware and software perspective. The first half of this subject explores the five classic components of a computer system: input, output, memory, data path and control, with the last two making up the processor. We explore the history of computer systems, highlighting the recent change in trend from increasing clock speeds to increasing processor/core counts. We describe how the performance of a computer system can be evaluated, how it has been the driving factor behind progress and why this recent change in trend was necessary. Each of the five classic components are examined in both an abstract sense and by looking at specific real-world examples. We put particular emphasis on the structure, design and operation of modern CPUs, how CPUs differ in design and operation from GPUs, and how memory hierarchies are used to improve performance. The second half of this subject examines how operating systems bring all of these computer system components together in a cohesive way, to allow user programs to interact with these components without needing to know about the low-level details. Students will learn about the structure of a modern operating system, with particular emphasis on processes & threads, memory management, file systems and I/O.
Foundations of Information Systems | MIS100

This subject provides a context for information systems by exploring computer architecture - specifically hardware, software and peripherals in the context of global business. You will be introduced to the key concepts and technologies of information systems that drive change and support organisations to achieve strategic goals. This includes the application of business information systems, data and information management, disruptive technologies and issues such as ethics, privacy and security. You will gain insights into the technologies that are disrupting and transforming society both now and into the future.

Advanced Tech Work Integrated Learning | ATW306

This subject is designed to provide students with the experience in a professional environment in an area related to their specialisation. The aim of providing industry-specific opportunities is to enable students to develop skills to enhance their prospects of gaining meaningful employment and building their career as software engineers in the future. Much of the benefit of work integrated learning comes from observation, practicing under supervision and reflection. Work Integrated Learning is an excellent way to broaden the student's learning environment while they are studying. It allows them to see first-hand how what they are learning in their degree, translates into practice, as well as how 'real world' practice relates to what they are learning at university. This subject is designed to develop work ready skills to boost students' employability while they are studying.

There are two work integrated learning options available to students:
Option 1: Industry Placement
Students are offered the opportunity to work within a technology company as an intern or volunteer at a technology non-profit organisation. It encourages students to build long-term relationships with the tech industry and provides an opportunity for them to work with and learn from people who may end up becoming colleagues, bosses or mentors. It also provides a context to enhance their communication skills and work collaboratively in a professional arena. Students will undertake a series of industry-led tasks that are relevant to software engineering in order to understand the key concepts of working within a professional technology team with emphasis placed on the operation of the environment.

Option 2: Industry Project
This subject requires students to respond to criteria set within the context of an Industry Project. An understanding of research methodologies appropriate to professional practice and the documentation of personal creative investigation will be explored. Students will also further investigate and examine entrepreneurial and commercial opportunities through collaborative work practice. The subject is delivered from a cross specialisation perspective and draws on both specialised and common software engineering practices.
Students are required to work both independently or as part of a collaborative team in order to conduct research, analyse and define project parameters and deliver innovative solutions that expand the notion of an Industry Project.

Students will be presented with practical examples of how to develop applications using deep learning. Knowledge in programming and understanding of machine learning concepts is required in this subject.
Social Enterprise | SEN301

Social Enterprise is an exciting theoretically-based subject that is driven by the desire to create positive change through entrepreneurial activities. These activities harness design thinking and problem-solving processes in the realisation of pragmatic, viable project proposals from initiation to client presentation. By providing students with a framework to understand business model generation and the skills to source, evaluate, and measure opportunities through systematic research and competitor analysis, Social Enterprise empowers students to conceptualise, develop and propose new ventures and products that focus primarily upon social change for good. In addition, this subject will help students understand and address the practical challenges of working within this environment; to analyse different entrepreneurial business strategies, to explore diverse funding strategies, as well as incorporate theoretical discussions on major trends and issues in the social economy. Social Enterprise enables students to appreciate the power of creativity in problem-solving and the importance of the designer’s role in making a difference and precipitating change.

Frequently asked questions

What are Torrens University Australia’s ATAR requirements for domestic students?

Torrens University Australia no longer considers ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) as our primary entry requirement. We have removed ATAR as the key admissions criteria for applicants aiming to study at Torrens University Australia. We strongly believed an alternative to the ATAR system should be found, which more broadly assesses students, especially when soft skills are emerging as important employability attributes. So, students with a recent secondary school education are now considered for admission if they have a Year 12 (Australian secondary school) certificate. Exceptions may apply to some courses.
What if  I don’t meet the entry criteria for a degree?

Torrens University Australia has a range of application pathways to help you gain entry into our degrees based on different criteria.
