Computers are changing the world, and our lives. We've been saying that for decades, and we’ll keep saying it, because computing technology just keeps on advancing.

You probably have what a few decades ago would have been called a super-computer sitting in your pocket right now.

The Master of Computer Science will give you a broad base of high-level knowledge to keep up with these advances, with specialist skills in at least one area of knowledge systems, programming languages and distributed computing, information systems, mathematics/statistics, spatial information science or linguistics.

Successful completion of 200 credit points, made up of:

• One compulsory coursework subject on research methods (12.5 points)
• At least two foundational computer science subjects (25–37.5 points)
• At least four elective subjects (50–62.5 points)
• One compulsory research project (100 points)

You’ll select elective subjects from a diverse offering, focusing on at least one area of:

• Advanced Computer Science
• Artificial Intelligence
• Cybersecurity
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Programming Languages and Distributed Computing
• Spatial Information

All students will undertake a research project, working on a real-world computer science research question. To support you and provide direction, you’ll be matched with one of our expert computer scientists.

Our graduates go on to work as:

• Software developers and engineers
• Systems and cybersecurity analysts
• Data scientists and analysts
• Digital policy advisors
• Project managers.
