MyDay for computer science at CSU

11 MAY 2015

Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will host a MyDay on Tuesday 12 May for senior school students who are interested in studying computer science. MyDay gives students a taste of living and learning on campus, and provides useful information about courses and study options. Students also receive information about opportunities and support available, and about how to achieve their goals. Mr Jason Howarth, lecturer and course director in the School of Computing and Mathematics at CSU in Bathurst, said, "The aim of MyDay is let students know about the great careers they can embark upon once they get a Bachelor's degree in computer science. It is essential that regional students hear about the opportunities in technology-related employment so they can make informed choices about their future. In a recent report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, it was noted that up to 44 per cent of current Australian jobs will be automated in the next 20 years. Students with a computer science degree will be well-placed to withstand this massive digital disruption. Already, 75 per cent of the fastest growing jobs require technology skills, jobs such as computer and apps programming, database and systems administration, and network support."

Media Note:

Contact CSU Media to arrange interviews. Approximately 12 students will attend the MyDay at CSU in Bathurst from Dubbo College Senior Campus, Denison College Kelso High campus, Lithgow High School, Mackillop College (Bathurst), Molong Central School, and Mudgee High.
