In 2021 the Faculty of Information Technology undertook a review of the Research Stream of our Masters courses. As a result, for 2022, the minor thesis will move from an 18-point project to a 24-point project.

This change will only apply to students who commence their degree in 2022. If you commenced your PG IT degree prior to 2022 and are accepted into the research stream, you will complete an 18-point project as per your course structure. For details, check the course Handbook entry or your course map for the year you commenced your course.

New minor thesis stream

  • FIT5126 Master thesis part 1 (6 points)
  • FIT5127 Master thesis part 2 (6 points)
  • FIT5228 Master thesis part 3 (6 points)
  • FIT5229 Master thesis final (6 points)

The 24-point project must be completed across the final 2 semesters of your Masters program with 12 points in each semester.

The additional thesis unit has replaced either a free elective or an FIT elective in the course.

Students who are accepted into the Research stream in 2022 MAY have the option of transferring into the 2022 version of their course and completing a 24-point project. This will depend on the number of electives you have completed so far in your Masters and will be assessed at the time of your acceptance into the Research stream in February 2022.
