About
About
The Master of Computer Science in Software Engineering is a coursework-based postgraduate programme offered by the Faculty of Computing and Informatics. While the programme primarily focuses on software engineering, it is continuously updated to stay aligned with emerging technologies and evolving industry demands. To reflect these advancements, new elective courses such as Security in Computing, Data Mining and Analytics, and High Performance Computing for Big Data have been introduced, especially in response to the growing significance of CyberSecurity and Big Data. This programme also offers students the opportunity to gain exposure to various other areas within the broader field of computer science, beyond software engineering.
