The Master of Computing and Innovation is a conversion program designed for students who wish to develop new skills in the areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and management and innovation. Success as an ICT professional in today’s diverse market requires not only technical computer science skills, but also expertise in innovation and project management. As ICT professionals are employed more broadly throughout different industry and government sectors there is an increasing diversity in their roles, encompassing management of ICT contracts and projects, development of applications, identification and management of ICT solutions and the marketing and selling of ICT solutions. This diversity requires ICT professionals to exhibit a high degree of technical knowledge as well as good communications and project management skills. The Master of Computing and Innovation is designed to provide these skills.
Although designed primarily as a conversion program, students with existing qualifications in Computer Science may also undertake the degree and build upon their skills in ICT and management and innovation. Such students will have the core courses requirement (i.e. the bridging program) varied to accommodate their existing knowledge.
Students undertake a specialised bridging program in their first semester, designed to address fundamental ICT requirements and familiarisation with assessment and the University of Adelaide environment. After completion of the bridging program, students will be skilled in programming in the Java language, and have knowledge of fundamental data structures and computer systems.
Students undertake a variety of core and elective courses, designed to provide skills in ICT and management and innovation, as well as a significant project designed to combine skills developed across the program.
Academic staff provide guidance and mentorship based on years of experience in ICT education and industry involvement. Award winning educators are combined with world research leaders in providing an exciting, innovative and comprehensive education environment.
Students commencing this program may, after the completion of the equivalent of a major in computer science convert to a Master of Computer Science or Master of Software Engineering program. In addition students unable to complete a Master of Computing Innovation program may be able to convert to a Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate program. It may also be possible to convert from a Master of Computer Science or Master of Software Engineering program to a Master of Computing Innovation.
All students intending to convert between degrees are required to contact the Faculty Office for advise on whether conversion is possible.
A 48 unit program, students undertake a specialised bridging program in their first semester, designed to address fundamental ICT requirements and familiarisation with assessment and the University of Adelaide environment. After completion of the bridging program, students will be skilled in programming in the Java language, and have knowledge of fundamental data structures and computer systems. Students undertake a variety of core and elective courses, designed to provide skills in ICT and management and innovation, as well as a significant project designed to combine skills developed across the program.
