Course content

Information and computing technology affect all aspects of modern life. Its applications include not only commerce and science, but also health, education, engineering, transport, government, entertainment, sport, and social networking.

Computer science and information technology have become so complex that only well-educated professionals have the skills and capabilities to develop and apply information and communications technology (ICT) systems in modern organisations. Worldwide, there is a well-documented shortage of ICT professionals.

In this essential field, changes occur rapidly, and professionals must continually refresh their skills and knowledge. UNE's Master of Computer Science provides you with a comprehensive postgraduate education in the latest ICT principles and practice, along with enhanced knowledge and skills in research.
