The premier program is the Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, equipping graduates for leadership roles in academic institutions, corporate research facilities, and public sector organizations. For those seeking advanced education without doctoral commitment, we offer Master of Science (thesis-based) and Master of Computer Science (non-thesis, available both online and in-person) options. Additionally, we provide a collaborative Master of Computer Networking degree through our Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments (detailed under Computer Networking). Graduate students enjoy exclusive career support through our Corporate & Career Services center, featuring on-site recruitment events, specialized career seminars, digital mock interviews, and personalized career guidance.
The Master of Computer Science serves as a final professional qualification, focusing solely on coursework and seminar participation without research projects, thesis requirements, or final exams. Typically, MCS candidates fund their own education, with many choosing part-time enrollment to balance work and studies.
