The Master of Computing (Advanced) is a premier postgraduate computing degree for students who want to develop their knowledge and skills by studying advanced computing courses and undertaking research in one of the many sub-fields of computing in which the ANU School of Computing has world-leading expertise. The 2 year full time (or equivalent part-time) program targets students who wish to enter industry in an R&D or leadership role, enhance their existing computing knowledge or can be used as a pathway to a PhD. The degree is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
Master of Computing (Advanced) graduates will deepen their existing knowledge and understanding of professional software development and computing practices. Students have the opportunity to participate in many cutting-edge courses and, depending upon their background and interests, are likely to choose to specialise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer systems and architecture, human-centred design, software development, data science or theoretical computer science. The program culminates in a capstone individual research project requiring students to complete a substantial research thesis.
Students may be awarded up to 48 units of credit. The number of units of credit a student receives will be determined on a case by case basis and will be influenced by their background and focus of their earlier studies.
