COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Computer Science is a postgraduate coursework degree designed to provide a comprehensive education in computer science, combining foundational knowledge with specialised skills. The program requires students to complete a range of subjects, including four foundation subjects that build essential understanding, and three computing professional core subjects that develop key technical competencies needed in the IT industry. Additionally, students undertake four specialist computing subjects, allowing them to deepen their expertise in specific areas of computer science.A key component of the degree is the professional capstone or research project, where students apply their learning to real-world problems or research challenges, demonstrating their ability to integrate knowledge and skills in practical contexts. Beyond these requirements, students have the option to complete additional specialist, elective, or core subjects, providing flexibility to tailor the program to their personal interests and career goals.The degree also offers opportunities to specialise in focused areas of computer science, supported by a broad range of subject areas within engineering and computer science. This structure ensures that graduates gain both a solid theoretical foundation and the specialised skills necessary to thrive as computer scientists or IT professionals in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
