Master of Computer Science (MCS)
Re-enrolment Information 2006
The following information is provided to assist students in the Master of Computer Science course to re-enrol in 2006. Also note that the Mobile and distributed computing specialisation has not been accepted. You should therefore ignore this part of the handbook entry.
Course Structure
- Master of Computer Science [MCS]
- To graduate with the MCS, students must complete 96 credit points of study. The programme must include:
- a minimum of 75% (72 points) of approved MCS units, including at least 24 points of Level 5 units and one or more of the approved 36 point MCS specialisations;
- and up to 25% (24 points) of elective units approved by the course leader.
- Master of Computer Science (Minor Thesis) [MCS(Minor Thesis)]
- To graduate with the MCS(Minor Thesis), students must complete 96 credit points of study. The programme must include:
- a minimum of 75% (72 points) of approved MCS units, including at least 24 points of Level 5 units and one or more approved 36 point MCS specialisations;
- also including a research project and research methods training / minor thesis typically of 36 points (a 24 point research project may be taken with the permission of the course leader);
- and up to 25% (24 points) of elective units approved by the course leader.

| CSE5351 |
Research Project / Research Training / Minor Thesis - initial component |
| CSE5352 |
Research Project - intermediate component |
| CSE5353 |
Research Project / Research Training / Minor Thesis - final component |
- Note that a 36-point minor thesis is made up of the three 12-point units CSE5351, CSE5352 and CSE5353 taken over 2 or 3 semesters. A 24-point minor thesis comprises CSE5351 and CSE5353 over 1 or 2 semesters. Note also that despite being divided into 12-point components for administrative reasons, the minor thesis is a single entity incorporating a research project and formal research methods training, hence results are returned only on completion of CSE5353, the final component.
