Master of Computing

Course Overview
ANU’s Master of Computing is a 2-year coursework program at the School of Computing, designed for graduates of any discipline who want a deep technical foundation in software systems, machine learning, data analytics or cyber security. Sri Lankan students with a non-CS bachelor’s (engineering, mathematics, science) are explicitly welcomed.
The program is on Australia’s Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List under ICT occupations — which means ANU Computing graduates have one of the cleanest pathways from the 485 Temporary Graduate Visa to permanent residency via skilled migration.
