About

All industries today require computer scientists with advanced skill sets and an ability to develop, test, and maintain software engineering applications to meet ever-evolving modern industry and commercial requirements.

The Master of Computer Science (Software Engineering) focuses on preparing current Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals holding a bachelor degree in computer science or information technology for the challenges of rapidly advancing ICT technologies.

The degree will be a valuable asset if you are seeking to further your career in managerial roles related to information technology. It can also prepare ICT professionals for entry into research degrees such as the Master of Philosophy and PhD.

The Master of Computer Science gives graduates the ability to solve complex real-world problems by integrating computer science methods with effective management strategies, and by developing and deploying computer applications.

You will study subjects in Service-Oriented Software Engineering, Software Requirements, Specification and Formal Methods, and Software Testing and Analysis. You will be able to put theory into practice with an individual capstone project.
