In order to graduate from the MComp programme, students are required to fulfil the programme and specialisation requirements, as well as achieve a minimum final GPA of 3.0.
Students admitted to the Master of Computing are required to pass 40 Units, and are given the flexibility to complete their programme by selecting one of the below options:
Coursework Option Students are required to pass ten courses (40 Units), with at least six courses (24 Units) selected from their specialisation. The remaining four non-specialisation courses (16 Units) can be chosen from level 4000 to 6000 courses offered by the School of Computing.
Out of the required maximum ten courses, students are allowed a maximum of two level 4000 courses.
CS Project Option The project option provides the experience for individual students to work on a significant computing project. It aims to prepare students with sufficient practical and/or research experiences in the computing field. Students who choose to embark on the project option will need to complete eight courses (32 Units), level 4000 to 6000, offered by the School of Computing, with at least four courses (16 Units) from the area of specialisation. Out of the eight courses, students are allowed at most two level 4000 courses (8 Units).
