Computers are changing the world, and our lives. Weve been saying that for decades, and well keep saying it, because computing technology just keeps on advancing. You probably have what a few decades ago would have been called a super-computer sitting in your pocket right now. The Master of Computer Science will give you a broad base of high-level knowledge to keep up with these advances, with specialist skills in at least one area of knowledge systems, programming languages and distributed computing, information systems, mathematics/statistics, spatial information science or linguistics.
