Work Integrated Pathway | Important information
Students can view all available specialisations under the `Major/Pathways` tab. We strongly recommend that students complete their Foundation units before enrolling in specialisation units.
The Specialist units chosen may contribute towards a designated Specialisation. See the Majors/Pathways tab for details of each Specialisation.
Students who have completed a minimum of 48 credit points with at least Distinction average marks may take the Work Integrated Pathway. The Work Integrated Pathway must be taken during the last semester of studies.
In addition to this page, students should refer to the resources available on the School of Computer Science Canvas page https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/15961/pages/master-of-computer-science-mcs-2
This includes details on academic advising and a link to FAQs specifically for Master of Computer Science students, including those pursuing a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma.
