Overview

Master of Computer Science

Computers are changing the world and our lives. 

We've been saying that for decades, and we’ll keep saying it because computing technology keeps advancing.

You probably have what a few decades ago would have been called a super-computer sitting in your pocket right now.

The Master of Computer Science at The University of Melbourne will give you a broad base of high-level knowledge to keep up with these advances, with specialist skills in at least one area: 

Knowledge systems, programming languages and distributed computing, information systems, mathematics/statistics, spatial information science or linguistics

All students will undertake a research project, working on a real-world computer science research question.
