Overview

On the Advanced Computer Science program at Monash University you’ll complete all the requirements of the Bachelor of Computer Science, choosing either advanced computer science or data science as a specialisation.

Key facts

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.
