This program gives students the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of computer science and to advance their skills in preparation for positions in research and technology development.

Employment options

A master’s degree in computer science will dramatically open up your employment options, especially for top tier employers, such as Google, Tesla, or the Department of Defence, Science and Technology. Demonstrating your prowess in a particular field will improve your chances, especially if you can tailor your research or coursework experience to a particular project the employer is undertaking.
