The Master of Computing is a 2-year full-time (or equivalent part-time) degree targeted to graduates without a computing background who wish to acquire a solid knowledge of computing. The program is professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society. Master of Computing graduates will develop a deep knowledge and understanding of professional software development and computing practices.
Each student must select a specialisation, which provides a grouping of courses linked to a research strength of SoCo and provides a pathway for professional practice (including R&D roles or further study) in an area of interest to the student. This can be supplemented by a choice of further COMP electives. The specilisations reflect the range of research conducted at ANU: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Systems, Computational Foundations, Data Science, Human Centred & Creative Computing, or Software Development. The program culminates in a capstone project: either completing an Internship or working in small groups to solve a clients problem via TechLauncher.
On completion of 48 units, students may exit with a Graduate Diploma of Computing.
Students completing the Master of Computing with a GPA greater than 6 may transfer to the Master of Computing (Advanced) with up to 48 units of credit.
