Program Description

The Master of Computer Science is a postgraduate program aimed towards graduates who have a four year degree in science or engineering and wish to become computing professionals. This two year full-time program addresses all aspects of modern computing systems, including their hardware, software and applications.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

Please contact the School of Computer Science and Engineering for information regarding the Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes.

Program Structure

Note: At the time of printing CSE was in process of revising its coursework programs for 2005 onwards. For constantly updated information please see www.cse.unsw.edu.au
The typical duration of this program is:

four semesters full-time or eight semesters part-time.

This is based on an enrolment in the maximum full-time load, i.e. 4 courses per semester.

Course Selection

Group A

Group A consists of foundational material in computing. Computer Science students who are able to demonstrate that they have thoroughly covered equivalent material in their previous studies may request Advanced Standing in some or all of these courses.
Group B

Group B courses constitute the knowledge in computing that every postgraduate student in computing should possess.
Group C

Group C courses constitute the secondary core courses that emphasise important aspects of computing, but due to time constraints it is not feasible to expect students to take all of them.
Group D

The courses in Group D are advanced electives that can be used to gain specialisation in one of several areas of computing. Because of the specialised nature of these courses, they are not guaranteed to be available in every semester.

Academic Rules

Please refer to Program Structure and contact your school office for the Academic Requirements relating to this program.
