[SMCS] Master of Science in Computer Science

Master of Science in Computer Science Course Code: SMCS Course Objectives The Masters programs develop a sound theoretical knowledge of contemporary Computer Science techniques and/or the techniques in one specified field of study from the Mathematical Sciences. Emphasis is also placed on the application of these techniques in areas of business and industry. Admission Requirements To qualify for admission to the course an applicant must have successfully completed an appropriate degree or an equivalent combination of qualifications and experience. Applicants must be competent in tertiary level mathematics and computing. Applicants with any of the following qualifications may apply for credits against specific coursework subjects up to the indicated maximum. (a) A degree in computer science. (b) A four year honours degree in computer science. (c) A pass degree (without a major in computer science) followed by an appropriate graduate diploma. (d) A combination of qualifications and experience equivalent to (a), (b), or (c) above. Course Duration The course is offered on a full-time basis over two years or on an equivalent part-time basis.
