About

The Master of Computing (Advanced) is a two year full-time (or equivalent part-time) degree targeting students who wish to enter industry in an R&D or leadership role or who wish to pursue a PhD. 

Master of Computing (Advanced) graduates will deepen their existing 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, are likely to choose to specialise in artificial intelligence, human-centred design and software development, or data science. The program culminates in a capstone individual research project requiring students to complete a substantial research thesis.

Admission criteria

One of the following:

  • bachelor degree or international equivalent with a minimum GPA of 6.0/7.0

Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met. Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program.

Applicants without the bachelor degree minimum GPA

Applicants who do not have a bachelor degree with a GPA 6.0/7.0 must provide a curriculum vitae (CV) including employment history (duties, responsibilities, hours, name and nature of employer) and the contact details of two referees. Upload your CV, including the contact details of two referees from your workplace/s, as a PDF within the UAC application.

Contact the College if you have any queries regarding the application requirements.

GPA calculation

ANU uses a 7-point grade point average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities.

Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications that are eligible to be considered.
