您为什么要在USYD学习计算机科学专业？
A Bachelor of Science is great对于有兴趣从事技术工作的人and, more specifically, in编程是必要技能的职业角色。
在发展您的编程技能方面，Anita告诉我们：“计算机科学专业的BSCI专业是学习编程的好方法，但也有使我能够在其他领域（例如信息系统）开放我的技能，这些技能也提供了出色的技能。”
She adds thatwhile programming is a difficult skill, it is ultimately rewarding as it opens a diverse set of career opportunities in a world that increasingly shifts into digital and virtual forms- 编程只是许多公司的需求越来越多。
USYD的计算机科学也opens up skills in other areas such as Information Systems, and through electives, this can further diversify your career options!
Top 3 Pros of a Computer Science major
＃1：在一所享有声望的大学学习编程
“USYD has a great reputation and is very well known among many employers domestically and internationally,” Anita says.
Across the world, and especially in Australia,USyd is one of the most notable and prestigious universities。在里面2021 QS World Rankings，USYD在澳大利亚的计算机科学和信息系统课程中排名第二！
“You get to learn to program which is an amazing skill to have in the workforce,” Anita says.
重申上述内容，programming opens doors to roles such as software developers, web developers, computer systems engineeringand in fields as diverse as finance, healthcare, marketing and technology. And,这些角色通常提供高薪工资！
#2: You can also choose another major
In a Bachelor of Science at USyd, Anita tells us, “You can choose another major in conjunction with Computer Science so you can broaden your skills in more than one area。”In addition, you have the option of choosing a minor instead of a second major.
对于大多数科学专业的学生而言，他们不仅有一个科学领域感兴趣的科学领域，而且还可以满足他们的激情以及保持课堂的单调较低，并且在您的批判性思维技能上更侧面。最重要的是，学习了一个不同的重大树篱，不要将所有鸡蛋放入一个篮子里！
＃3：只有三年
尽管科学专业的学生在学士学位期间磨练了各种科学技能，但安妮塔（Anita）说，这是一个专业人士the course is only 3 years with full-time study.
Because the degree is quite short,it motivates students to be future-forward in their university and postgraduate decisions.
Do you want to start working after graduate? Or perhaps pursue postgraduate study? Or even transfer in-between your degree to another?These questions come early into your degree and allow Science students to be strategic with their actions.

＃1：易于落后
由于这些概念的工作量和困难，Anita说：“如果您在学习方面不一致，这可能是高度挑战和压力的……You will most likely spend extra time studying, as it’s important to stay on top of things otherwise you will fall behind.”
掌握如何编程，基于数据的算法，计算模型和其他计算机科学概念并不是一个简单的壮举。
虽然您应该准备好接受这一事实，但安妮塔说，不要轻易灰心：“Just because something might be challenging for you, does not mean you shouldn’t do it。”
#2: Time-consuming
When studying a Computer Science major,most hours of your week will revolve around attending classes and catching up with uni work.请记住，接触小时的数量大约是每周大约20 - 25小时对于科学学士学位的计算机科学专业！
#3: Cohort is generally introverted
As the last con, Anita admits thatthe “cohort [in a Computer Science major] is very introverted so it is hard to form study groups”。
Joining a related society such as同步can help with this —该协会提供每周的社交活动，网络安全研讨会以及网络机会。
In addition, it’s not a bad idea to take the first step to reach out and add your classmates on Facebook or other social media!
Any regrets? What do you wish you had known before starting Computer Science at USYD?
While she has no regrets, Anita mentions, “我希望我知道这会有多大的挑战！我希望我知道这很耗时。”
Anita最初是MQ Uni的生物科学学生，在转移之前，Anita肯定发现了自己在USYD学习计算机科学方面的基础。
What makes this degree different from the ones offered at other universities?
对于她在MQ Uni中获得的少数计算科目，安妮塔（Anita）觉得他们没有在悉尼大学教过它：“任务更为复杂，但教给您更多，”她解释说。“ [也] USYD以毕业后的就业率很高而闻名。”
是什么促使您在USYD选择计算机科学？
当安妮塔（Anitashe chose to pursue a major in Computer Science after studying a unit in programming as an elective.
安妮塔说：“我选择了编程的介绍作为选修课，最终我很喜欢它，做得很好，得到了区别。”“还，I have been passionate about tech my whole life and have been really into computers/IT so I thought I would make the jump into Computing。”
Despite there being an Advanced Computing course at USYD,she chose BSci majoring over it as she doesn’t plan on doing an Honours，并且希望更多的选修课扩大她的技能。
“This then brought me to BSci majoring in Computer Science.我真的高兴my choice and it has landed me a great internship at a software engineering company，”她进一步说。
What are the possible career paths?
Graduating from a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) at USydopens a diverse range of careers in various fields.一些选项包括：
-
- Software developer
- 网络开发人员
- Computer systems engineer
- Software engineers
- 计算机系统管理员
- Information technology consultants
- Systems analysts
- 金融，医疗保健，市场和技术
