New Schools to replace SMSCS

From 2009, Victoria University will establish two new Schools: the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research, and the School of Engineering and Computer Science.

These two Schools will replace the current School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science.

Professor David Bibby, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Science, Architecture & Design and Engineering, says the spilt will facilitate the continuing development of Engineering and Computer Science at the University. The Bachelor of Engineering was first offered in 2006.

The new Schools will continue to foster the strong research culture of their disciplines and continue to contribute to research throughout the University.

This change does not affect the range qualifications offered by each School or impact on current students’ intended qualifications in any way.
