MSc in Electronic and Computer System Engineering

The MSc in Computer Systems Engineering deals with topics at the intersection of computer science and electronics. With embedded controllers existing in almost all of modern-day electronics, the distinction between software and hardware is becoming blurred. Expertise exists at Victoria University in electronic design, software design, artificial intelligence, mechatronics and robotics. This two year programme offers the student the op4 November, 2008t suits their interests. Issues of design, human-machine interfacing, control and machine learning and adaptability are at the core of this MSc.

The Programme is divided into two parts. Part 1 half comprises 6 lectured papers (ECSE425 and ECSE430 are compulsory), and a research preparation paper. Part 2 is a major research project spanning 12 – 15 months. Students who have enter the degree with a satisfactory academic background (typically a BSc(Hons) or equivalent degree) may enrol directly in Part 2.
