    Master of Computing

    About

    The Master of Computing is a 2-year full-time (or equivalent part-time) degree targeted to graduates without a computing background who wish to acquire a solid knowledge of computing. The program is professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society. Master of Computing graduates will develop a deep knowledge and understanding of professional software development and computing practices.

    Students have the opportunity to participate in many cutting-edge courses and, depending upon their background and interests, may choose to specialise in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Architecture and Systems, Theoretical Computational Foundations, Data Science, Human Centered Design & Creative Computing, or Software Development. The program culminates in a capstone project: either completing an Internship or working in small groups to solve a clients problem via TechLauncher.


    On completion of 48 units, students may exit with a Graduate Diploma of Computing.


    Students completing the Master of Computing with a GPA greater than 6 may transfer to the Master of Computing (Advanced) with up to 48 units of credit.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Admission Requirements

    Applicants must present one of the following:

  • A Bachelor degree or international equivalent with a minimum GPA of 5.0/7.0
  • A Bachelor degree or international equivalent with a GPA of 4.0/7.0, with at least 3 years of relevant work experience

    • The GPA for a Bachelor program will be calculated from (i) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades and/or (ii) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades other than those from the last semester (or equivalent study period) of the Bachelor degree. The higher of the two calculations will be used as the basis for admission.

    Ranking and English Language Proficiency: At a minimum, all applicants must meet program-specific academic/non-academic requirements, and English language requirements. Admission to most ANU programs is on a competitive basis. Therefore, meeting all admission requirements does not automatically guarantee entry.

    In line with the University's admissions policy and strategic plan, an assessment for admission may include competitively ranking applicants on the basis of specific academic achievement, English language proficiency and diversity factors. Applicants will first be ranked on a GPA ('GPA1') that is calculated using all but the last semester (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes. If required, ranking may further be confirmed on the basis of:

  • a GPA ('GPA2') calculated on the penultimate and antepenultimate semesters (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes; and/or
  • demonstrating higher-level English language proficiency

    • Prior to enrolment in this ANU program, all students who gain entry will have their Bachelor degree reassessed, to confirm minimum requirements were met.
