Course overview
Computers are changing the world, and our lives. Weve been saying that for decades, and well keep saying it, because computing technology just keeps on 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 will give you a broad base of high-level knowledge to keep up with these advances, with specialist skills in at least one area of knowledge systems, programming languages and distributed computing, information systems, mathematics/statistics, spatial information science or linguistics.
