Master of Computer Science overview

A Master of Computer Science can provide you with specialised knowledge in an area of technology, expanding your skills and career prospects. It will take around two years of full-time study to complete a master’s degree.

Coursework master

Coursework master’s in computer science is a good option for those who want to expand their knowledge in a specialised field. Most coursework programs in computer science are designed to provide clear pathways for specific career goals.

Research master

A masters by research degree involves the completion of an original research dissertation, but more limited in scope and nature compared to that required of a PhD. 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.

Scholarships and funding

Scholarships are offered by most universities to students taking up master’s degrees in computer science. You can check our search tool to find out about these scholarships.

Austudy is also available for Master of Computer Science courses at Edith Cowan University, La Trobe University, and the University of Wollongong. You may contact these institutions for more information. However, if you are 24 or younger, you may still qualify for Youth Allowance.

Prerequisites and selection process

Depending on institution, entry to this course typically requires students to have a related undergraduate degree (e.g. computer science, computing, ICT, mathematics, physics, electronics or statistics). Previous work experience in this field is also likely to be beneficial but not essential.
