Honours subject area
An honours year in Advanced Computing will help you develop deep analytical skills in the fundamental and applied areas of computer science.
You'll enhance your existing computing skills by learning cutting-edge research in areas such as algorithms, machine learning, systems, networking, security, human computer interaction, information systems and service computing.
The cornerstone of the honours year is a supervised project that is conducted over two semesters.
Through the project, you will develop research skills such as formulating research questions, understanding research papers, and coming up with your own ideas to address a gap in the current knowledge.
The project offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into a topic of your interest and, with the guidance of an academic, make an original research contribution.
