Master in Computer Science (Penang Campus)

This program provides you opportunity to enhance your existing knowledge of computer programming and mathematical frameworks through independent research. You will develop your research skills through two taught modules, i.e. Research Methodology and Algorithm Design & Analysis. Your supervisor team will then mentor you to complete your research project.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Research Proposal

Students will systematically structure and develop their research by developing a research proposal, which would guide the student through the entire research process. To enhance the rigor of the research proposal, the students will also need to complete a semester of Research Methods and one other subject (Qualitative\ Quantitative methods) in addition to participating in periodic research seminars and workshops.

Research

Upon approval of the research proposal,students will be guided by their supervisors to begin their research, and will work independently on their research projects.

Dissertation

Upon completion of their research, students will document the research project and process in a dissertation. Typically, dissertations for a Master by research is not more than 60,000 words.

Viva Volce

Upon completion of the research and dissertation, students will undergo an oral examination, chaired by experts in the field.
