C03025 Master of Science in Computing Sciences (Research) v3

UTS Course Code

C03025

Overview

This course enables graduates to extend and deepen their knowledge of a specialised area of computing by undertaking research under the supervision of a member of academic staff.

The course enables students to advance themselves in their career in computing and information technology, and offers flexibility in the choice of research topic so it may be closely aligned with students' professional careers.

Additional Admission Requirements

Applicants should hold a First or Second Class Honours (Division 1) degree with a major computing component or have previously undertaken other postgraduate studies in computing. Prospective applicants are expected to have developed interests in a specific area of research and should have one or more outline proposals for research work in that area. Before submitting a formal application for admission to this degree course, applicants should first seek the approval of a Faculty supervisor for their proposed research work.

Course Duration and Attendance

The maximum course duration is two years of full-time, or three years of part-time study. The Faculty of Information Technology has a strong preference for research work that proceeds at a full-time pace. However, this preference should not be seen as a deterrent to those students who wish to remain in employment. Students who are working in a full-time job are encouraged to select a topic for their research which is closely aligned with their professional work.
