Curtin University's excellent graduates are highly sought after across the industry, and their project-based curriculum allows you to interact with professionals in the field. There will be study tours, case studies and client projects in core subjects, to ensure when you graduate you possess a portfolio of work that demonstrates your expertise. There will also be opportunities for at least four weeks of internship in corporations, consultancies or not-for-profit sectors, as well as overseas placement, under the shadow of tutors with extensive experience in a variety of communication industries. Thus, if you’re an international student looking to pursue a postgraduate Information and Technology course in Australia with scholarship, this is the university to look towards.

The Computer Science Major (MSc Science) broadens the horizons of modern academic research methods in the fundamental theoretical and applied areas of computer science. You will be required to apply computing theory to information processes, and transform into professionals who analyses strategies for networking development. They will maintain and configure network hardware and software; maximize performance; and provide user support. They not only promote efficiency, but also protect information for both privacy and security reasons. This course will extend your prior knowledge and prepare you for a PhD with permanent residency in Australia. In addition to knowing about the basics of computer science and data storage, you will also be able to identify software security issues in specialized client systems and create countermeasures to fulfill client requirements. You will work with formal languages, the mathematical basics of computability, and the logic behind systemic complexity. This will pave the path for employment in a range of sectors, including business and management. 

As this major comes under the Master of Science (Science) degree, you will firstly have to apply for the Master of Science (Science) course.
