Normal admission requirement is a degree in Science, Applied Science, Engineering, Technology or similar. That degree, or other coursework or experience, should include a substantial component of technology. It is expected that applicants will have at least one year of relevant experience or have completed additional coursework encompassing computing technology.
Students who successfully complete the first two semesters of the Master of Information Technology may transfer to the Master of Computer Science and complete the Part B units and the project.
