COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our Master of Computer Science has a major research component and projects are supervised by leading academics from world-class research groups. Their fields of expertise include computer vision, evolutionary computation, distributed systems, computer networks, high-performance computing, formal verification and systems modelling.
What will you do?
Build advanced technical knowledge and skills.
Learn to design and construct large software systems.
Propose and conduct an advanced research project.
Deliver a report and public presentation on your work.
Foundational programming skills and familiarity with at least one object-oriented programming language are required to enter the program. Our assignments are usually written in Java or C++.
Where could it take you?
High-performing graduates may be able to proceed to further research study. You could take gaming environments to a whole new level. You could break ciphers or automate cloud security analyses. Perhaps you’ll develop interfaces for the visually impaired. A master degree will give you a competitive edge in all sorts of exciting computer science careers.
Potential careers
Computational Engineer, Computational Scientist, Computer Game Designer, Computer Hardware Engineer, Computer Programmer, Computer Scientist, Defence Scientist, IT Manager, Scientist, Systems Programmer, Internet Commerce Worker, Internet Consultant, Multimedia / Web Designer, Software Specialist
Degree Structure
The 48-unit master’s program normally takes four semesters of full-time study. However, duration may be reduced in the case of students with honours or master’s-level qualifications in computer science. As part of the 48 units, students are required to undertake a research project, deliver a public presentation and write a report on their research. The project is normally completed over two consecutive semesters.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The University of Adelaide unites and serves those striving to change the world—and themselves—for the better. It’s a place where history is made.Established in 1874, we’re home to over 29,000 students and 3,000 staff, all striving to create progress. For our community. For all. This is a university of outstanding quality—ranked as a top 100 global university—in the heart of the city of Adelaide.We were our country’s first university to welcome female students. The first to teach science and business. Our alumni have won Nobel Prizes, led the nation, and walked in space.
