COMPAS8685 - Master of Engineering Science in CSE
course outline
The Master of Engineering Science program is aimed at providing specialised postgraduate
education in Computer Science and Engineering to practitioners and professionals who
already have a broad-based undergraduate computing degree (see entry requirements
below). The flexibility in the program allows students to choose from specialising in a number of
areas, including software engineering, computer systems engineering, database systems,
knowledge-based systems, and visual information processing. The courses offered in the program will
be continually evaluated for their relevance and recency.
units of credit:
48 Units of Credit (uc)
typical duration:
2 semesters for full-time students or 4 semesters for part-time students.
structure of courses:
Master of Engineering students complete a program of 48uc of study. The program can be completed
in two ways::
- coursework only: 8 x 6uc courses; OR
- coursework plus project: 5 x 6uc courses and a 18uc project.
The project option is only available to students who (a) have achieved a distinction average
(75%) in the first 24uc of courses attempted; and (b) have obtained approval for their proposed
topic from the potential supervisor and the School's Postgraduate Co-ordinator. The project option
is only available to full-time students.
Only courses from
Group B, C and D may be taken by students in this
program.
Note: Students are encouraged to complete the MEngSc using
Group D courses only.
Under both the options, a student may be allowed to substitute up to two postgraduate courses
from other schools subject to approval from the Postgraduate Enrolment Co-ordinator. This includes
the
Group B/C free elective. Approved courses are
counted as either
Group B, C or D substitutions.
Students must check the units of credit of their electives before enrolment.

entry requirements:
EITHER a 4yr undergraduate degree equivalent to a standard Australian degree in computing, where
a high credit average was achieved over the final 2 yrs;
OR a 3yr undergraduate degree equivalent to a standard Australian degree in computing, with a
high credit average over the final 2 yrs, and formal technical work experience in the area of
computer science and engineering of more than 1 year.
Applicants for this degree must have completed studies in a broad range of computing areas,
including programming in at least 2 high level languages and assembly language, data structures and
algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems, software engineering, databases, networks and
artificial intelligence.
Entry to this program is quota based and is very competitive.
