Discover the world of digital research and development.
This is a coursework and research program in computer science for high achieving students who have completed a relevant undergraduate degree.
You’ll undertake research methodology training and carry out an independent research project on your selected topic, working closely with a supervisor who will provide you with individual guidance and academic counselling.
This course offers a pathway to higher level research in computer science.
Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that you should be able to:
- demonstrate a knowledge of a range of specialised topics in computer science including historical, cultural, social, legal and ethical issues inherent in research applicable to the discipline of computer science
- plan, conduct and manage an independent research project
- evaluate and select research methodologies appropriate to computer science, and demonstrate their uses and limitations
- critically analyse research literature
- analyse, synthesise and evaluate factors in a research project
- document and communicate research results, and the methods used, orally and in a written report
- undertake independent learning and apply analytical thinking.
This course consists of a combination of coursework and research. In the coursework component you will develop advanced theoretical and/or technical knowledge of computer science and research methodologies appropriate to your field. In the research component you will plan and execute a research project under the individual guidance of an academic supervisor.
The Monash University Handbook has more detailed information about the course structure and requirements.
Graduating with honours won’t just enhance your employment opportunities. It also means that you’ll gain a pathway degree equivalent to a master by coursework, and you’ll be well prepared to pursue a PhD.
- Successful completion of a relevant Australian bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) with an average of at least 70% overall or equivalent qualification and experience approved by the faculty.
- Students must satisfy the minimum English language requirements of the University.
