These include seminars and modules in advanced research methods, our School research student conference and research café, and the Doctoral College’s Café Academiques, research conference and Summer Showcase. Our extensive training provision, supported by the Doctoral College, will also enhance your skills and experience as a researcher. Prior to beginning the graduate portion of the program, students in the accelerated program will need to apply to the UCM Graduate School for formal admission to the Accelerated BS/MS program.You will receive academic and pastoral support from two supervisors and the Director of Research Degree Programmes. Undergraduate UCM students having completed at least 9 hours of computer science courses above the 1000 level with a major GPA of at least 3.00 may consult with their faculty advisor and complete a school application to declare the accelerated BS/MS major in computer science.

The Accelerated model for this program designed for the BS Computer Science - Computer Networking Option, Computer Science Option, Data Science Option, Game Development Option or Software Development Option. Full time students with no deficiencies can expect to complete this program in two academic years. Students may make up their deficiencies in computer science by completing the required undergraduate background courses. Applicants who have degrees in some non-computing fields will also be considered for admission. They may however be required if the student applies for Graduate Assistantship or Student Worker positions. Submission of a Statement of Purpose and 3 letters of recommendation is OPTIONAL for admission. The English requirement is waived for applicants who have completed a minimum of 60 semester credit hours or have earned a bachelor or graduate degree from an accredited college or university in the USA.

Regular graduate students should have a band score of 6.0 in IELTS. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper based) or 213 (computer-based) or 79 (Internet based) is required. International students whose native language is not English and do not have a US degree are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). or more advanced degree in a closely related discipline. Students not in the above mentioned discipline list should have a GPA 3.5 or more.


Student Learning Outcomes - The graduate with a Master of Science degree in Computer Science will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the program to:
