Welcome

Information and communication technology is a pervasive discipline that encompasses information systems and technology, computer science and software engineering, electrical, computer and telecommunications engineering, and mathematics and applied statistics. The Faculty of Informatics was purpose-built to educate graduates who will become leaders and provide solutions to the complex problems in the information and communication industry. Our academics have strong engagement with industry and conduct research at the forefront of their chosen disciplines. The deep understanding gained through active research pursuits is brought to the classroom to create a learning environment that inspires and nurtures curiosity in our students. Our graduates are amongst the most sought-after by industry because of their deep knowledge of the discipline, adaptability, communication skill, application and ethical professionalism. Our postgraduate training program produces graduates with strong research skills and; knowledge of the underlying theories and their application to the solution of complex problems.

The Faculty is currently home to five of the nineteen research strengths in the university: Information and Communication Technology Research Institute (ICTR), Centre for Statistical and Survey Modelling (CSSM); Advanced Manufacturing; Centre for Business Services Science; Centre for Mathematical Modelling and its Applications. The Faculty provides an environment and community where individuals can achieve their potential.
