M.CompSc
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 2 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Masters by Coursework |
Advanced technical studies in Computer Science provide an understanding of how software and hardware can be combined to overcome a range of complex challenges. Graduates can seek employment within the information technology industry, including careers in scientific, entertainment, networking, software engineering and defence sectors, or proceed to a PhD program.
The 48-unit Masters program normally takes four semesters of full-time study. However, duration may be reduced in the case of candidates with high-level qualifications in Computer Science. Masters students will also be required to undertake a research project, deliver a public seminar and write a report on their research. The project is normally completed over two consecutive semesters. Students without a practical knowledge of JAVA programming and a basic knowledge of computer organisation will be required to undertake a bridging course. Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check when particular courses or projects will be available.
