ITECH2509 Data structures and algorithms
This unit will explore program design approaches ensuring efficient computing to solve complex problems. In particular, students will study methods for analysing algorithms` time and space efficiency using asymptotic notation. Students will apply this analysis as they study a range of data structures and the algorithms used for processing such structures. Algorithms covered will include standard sorting and searching methods through to tree, graph and flow network processing algorithms. Finally, this unit will discuss implementation of each approach from scratch, as well as through the use of a built-in Application Programming Interface (API). Upon completion of this unit students will be able to determine and implement the appropriate data structure and algorithm to solve a range of problems, as well as be able to determine the efficiency of the solution.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
