MSc Computer Science

Programme Information

The MSc degree is conferred on grounds of a dissertation and such additional postgraduate coursework as may be prescribed. A student is required to demonstrate, by means of a dissertation, the ability to plan, institute and execute a scientific investigation.
A student works under the guidance of a supervisor and is expected to identify and complete a research project. The research results are to be fully reported in an MSc dissertation.

Also consult G Regulations.

Admission Requirements

An appropriate BScHons or equivalent degree is required for admission. In addition to be considered for admission an average of 65% should have been obtained for the modules passed for the honours degree. The Dean, on the recommendation of the supervisor and the Head of Department, may approve additional requirements and conditions.

Promotion to next study year

If the supervisor affirms that a candidate has progressed satisfactorily, registration may be renewed for the second year (full-time) or for the second to fourth year (part-time). Re-registration thereafter will only take place if a written motivation from the candidate, supported by the Head of Department is submitted to the student administration offices.
