Overview

The Computer Science Advanced (Honours) program at Monash University ensures you’ll be able to independently investigate problems, deliver solutions and communicate them to others.

Key facts

You’ll complete all the requirements of the Bachelor of Computer Science, choosing either advanced computer science or data science as a specialisation.

Then, to practise what you’ve learned, you’ll complete an advanced research project or, if you’re selected, an Industry-based Learning placement. In your honours year, you’ll work on a year-long individual research project and thesis with support from a leading supervisor – which could involve software development, experimentation or just be theoretical in nature.

Topics that are central to Monash’s research strengths include intelligent systems, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, modelling, optimisation and visualisation. Your research will also help us address the three great challenges facing the world – climate change, geopolitical security and communities that thrive.

When you successfully finish this course, you’ll be poised to start a PhD or excel in the growing field of IT research.

Careers and opportunities

Your studies will conclude with a full-year honours-level research project related to your specialisation, ensuring you graduate with strong research, analysis, problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills, deep computer science knowledge and hands-on experience in conducting impactful IT research
