Fees 2010 A$11,322 per session OverviewThis degree is designed to provide advanced studies in Computer Science at a professional level and also prepare students for the Master of Computer Science - Research or Doctoral research programs. Candidates may choose to complete a single major in a sub-discipline such as computer and network security, digital multimedia programming or software engineering. Entry Requirements / Assumed KnowledgeA degree equivalent to a three-year Australian Bachelor degree with a major in Computer Science, Software Engineering or Computer Engineering, with at least a 60% average. Knowledge of C++ and UNIX is assumed. Course Requirements1. The degree requires satisfactory completion of 900 level subjects to the value of at least 48 credit points, including: (a) At least five (5) subjects (30cp) selected from the CSCI Graduate Subjects List. (b) The other three (3) subjects (18cp) may be selected from both the CSCI Graduate Subjects List and the IACT Graduate Subjects List, or with the prior approval of the course coordinator, at most two (2) of these subjects (12cp) may be selected from the Graduate Additional Subjects List. 2. To be awarded with a major study, a candidate shall satisfactorily complete four (4) subjects (24cp) as set out in the relevant program below, within the requirements of 1 above. 3. This degree can be completed without a Major. Areas of Major StudyStudents enrolled in this degree may choose to major in: − Digital Multimedia Programming [MCSC01] − Software Engineering [MCSC02] − Computer and Network Security [MCSC03] Digital Multimedia ProgrammingChoose 24cp from this list Subjects | Session | Credit Points | | | Perception and Planning | Spring | 6 | | | Multimedia Studies | Autumn | 6 | | | Advanced Computer Graphics | Autumn | 6 | | | Web Design | Spring | 6 | | | Multimedia 3D Modelling and Animation | Spring | 6 | | | Game Design and Programming* | Autumn | 6 | Software EngineeringChoose 24cp from this list | | | Subjects | | Session | Credit Points | | | Formal Methods in Software Engineering | Autumn | 6 | | | Software Engineering Practices and Principles* | Spring | 6 | | | Topics in Software Engineering | Spring | 6 | | | Systems Analysis | n/o 2007 | 6 | | | Applied Project Management** | n/o 2007 | 6 | | | Corporate Network Design and Implementation** | Autumn | 6 | | | Database Design and Implementation* | Autumn | 6 | | | Software Engineering Requirements and Specifications | Spring | 6 | | | Software Process Management* | Autumn | 6 | Computer and Network SecurityChoose 24cp from this list | | | Subjects | | Session | Credit Points | | | Algorithms | Spring | 6 | | | Coding for Secure Communication | Autumn | 6 | | | Complexity Theory | n/o 2007 | 6 | | | Network Security* | Spring | 6 | | | Advanced Computer Security | Spring | 6 | | | Mathematics for Cryptography | Autumn | 6 | | | Computer Security* | Autumn | 6 | * Subjects marked with an asterisk (*) are from the Graduate Additional Subjects List.These preparatory subjects are required in a major if a candidate has not successfully completed a subject with substantially similar content in their previous studies. These subjects should not be selected if a candidate has the required background in the major area. Selection of subjects from the Graduate Additional Subjects List requires prior approval from the course coordinator. The work completed for the degree can include at most two (2) subjects from the Graduate Additional Subjects list. Subjects marked with a double asterisk (**) are from the IACT Graduate Subjects List and count for the three (3) subject limit for such subjects. | Note: The course requirements allow at most, three (3) subjects from a list other than the CSCI Graduate Subjects list to be counted in the total credit points required for this degree.
