Note: Students who are interested in Data Science and AI Specialisation are strongly encouraged to enrol in Foundation Elective STAT5002 before they select their specialist units.

Note: The Specialist units chosen may contribute towards a designated Specialisation. See the Majors/Pathways tab for details of each Specialisation.

Be advised that the following units WILL NOT count towards the ‘Computer Science Specialist units (Unspecified Specialisation)’: COMP5048, COMP5310 and CSEC5616. Should these units be completed as part of a specialisation prior to changing to the unspecified specialisation, they will count towards the degree as Computer Science Elective units.

In your enrolment portal, please choose the 24cp of Specialisation units from the relevant specialisation collection.

Note: All candidates for the Master of Computer Science are required to complete a substantial project that will allow the student to apply and demonstrate their knowledge and skills from the program.

Professional Pathway Project Units

The minimum requirement for the Professional Pathway is 12 credit points of Computer Science Capstone Project units.

Candidates can complete either COMP5707 and COMP5708 (6+6 credit points - two semesters available for part-time students) or COMP5703 or COMP5709 (12 credit points - single semester). Most students are expected to take COMP5703.

The remaining 12 credit points in the Professional Pathway may be taken from Specialist, Foundation or Elective units.
