Master of Computing - Computer Systems

The Computer Systems specialisation provides a foundation for the design, implementation and operation of contemporary computer systems and architectures. This includes core elements around networks, operating systems, programming, and the system software toolchain (IDEs, compilers, debuggers, run-time systems).
This specialisation is available in the two year full-time (or equivalent part-time) Master of Computing and Master of Computing (Advanced). In these degrees, students will be exposed to best practice in computing and cutting edge courses of relevance to computing practitioners.
