Hi,

We're launching a new degree program in second semester, the Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced), and we'll also be running the first of its associated courses - COMP SCI 1104 Grand Challenges in Computer Science, a first-year course

This course examines the grand challenges in Computer Science, including Advanced Computational Methods, Data Visualisation, High Performance Computing and lots more!

Assessment will feature project components in data analysis and visualisation, tutorials and exams but you'll have a lot of opportunity to display your skills in a rewarding and challenging environment.

Yes, that means it's challenging and advanced, which means that entry restrictions apply, including:

ATAR 95+ or higher (in the last two years) OR
GPA 6 or higher (Distinction average in all courses)

We're running an Information Session on Thursday at 2pm, Room 5.57 Ingkarni Wardli.

Contact me if you’re planning to attend (by Tuesday night) or for more information - nickolas.falkner@adelaide.edu.au

Regards,
Nick.

Hi,

Like programming? Want to get some practice doing something completely different from your usual programming challenges? The ACM programming contest, held annually and held around the world is coming around again and team formation and practice sessions start very soon.

If you're interested, or want to know more, have a look at the PDF slide pack attached to this e-mail. Further queries should go to Gustavo or Facundo.

Cheers,
Nick.
