by Research<br />
The Master of Science (Computer Science) by research is a twoyear<br />
full-time or equivalent part-time postgraduate course<br />
designed for students who wish to undertake significant research<br />
as part of their postgraduate degree. Such a research program can<br />
lead to either further postgraduate studies or a role as a project<br />
leader in innovative areas of computing.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
To be admitted to the Master of Science (Computer Science) by<br />
research students should have graduated with a ‘recognised<br />
degree’ including necessary prerequisite studies in computing.<br />
Details of admission requirements are specified below:<br />
1. Graduates of the Bachelor of Science (Computer<br />
Science) or equivalent will be expected to have a<br />
course average of 60 per cent or better or will be<br />
expected to provide evidence of relevant experience in<br />
the computing industry.<br />
2. Graduate Diploma of Science (Computer Studies) or<br />
equivalent graduates will be expected to have a course<br />
average of 70 per cent or better or will be expected to<br />
provide evidence of relevant experience in the<br />
computing industry. Such graduates may be required to<br />
complete bridging units.<br />
3. It is expected that an applicant will have completed a<br />
computing project at undergraduate or Graduate<br />
Diploma level or have had suitable work experience in<br />
lieu.<br />
4. Students with an equivalent of eight to eleven Bachelor<br />
of Science (Computer Science) units or whose course<br />
did not contain certain expected studies may be<br />
required to complete bridging units.<br />
5. Candidates with a First or Second Class Honours<br />
degree in computing may be permitted to proceed<br />
directly to second year of the two-year Master program<br />
although, depending on their topic, they may be<br />
required to undertake some coursework.<br />
COURSE LOCATION<br />
This course is available on Mt Lawley Campus.<br />
MODE OF STUDY<br />
This course is available by Full-time, or Part-time mode.<br />
MODE OF DELIVERY<br />
This course is available in the following modes of delivery - Oncampus,<br />
and Off-campus.<br />
COURSE STRUCTURE<br />
The course has two stages: Stage 1 (coursework and research<br />
project commencement) and Stage 2 (in which students are<br />
required to complete a thesis by research).<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Comprises four coursework units and two research units: Stage 1<br />
coursework units must be drawn from List A (at least three units)<br />
and List B (no more than one unit). Coursework units should be<br />
selected to complement the research direction to be pursued. The<br />
course coordinator must approve a student’s selection of any unit<br />
outside the following lists of approved units.<br />
List A (at least Three)<br />
