Master of Computer Studies (MCompStud)

This course has been specifically designed to meet the demand for students with a bachelor degree outside the computing field to gain a Master level qualification.

The Master of Computer Studies shall be subject to the University Course Rules for the award of the degree of Master, together with the following conditions:

1) Entry to the Master of Computer Studies will normally be from a three year undergraduate degree, with a grade average of at least 65%, from a recognised Australian university or institution of equivalent standing. In addition, international students must meet the University of Wollongongs English language entry requirements
2) For candidates who do not have knowledge or experience of C++, the course will usually be completed in three sessions (equivalent to 12 months). Commencement in Spring (July) Session is recommended as this allows students to take ITCS902 Data Structures over Summer Session (November- February). As ITCS902 is a pre-requisite for many subjects on the MCompStuds schedule, this increases subject options in the following Autumn (February) Session. Students commencing in Autumn Session have limited subject options as ITCS902 is available in Spring and Summer Sessions only.
