Eligibility and requirements
Prerequisites
Enrolment in the Distributed Computing specialisation of the Master of Information Technology, with completion of 50 points of Computing and Information Systems subjects at graduate level excluding the following subjects:
- COMP90007 Internet Technologies
- COMP90038 Algorithms and Complexity
- COMP90041 Programming and Software Development
- INFO90002 Information Modelling
Completing enrolment into the subject will give students access, via theLMS, to information about possible topics, supervision, and timelines. Students should negotiate a project topic with a project supervisor wellbefore the start of semester. The topic must fall within the area of distributed computing, broadly interpreted. Students who are in doubt about the suitability of a chosen topic can contact the degree coordinator for an opinion about its suitability.
By the end of Week 1 of semester, students must formally register their project, using an online form available via the LMS. If a chosen topic is deemed unsuitable, students will be alerted about this by the degree coordinator. Note that the degree coordinator's approval is an assessment hurdle requirement; if approval is not obtained, enrolment in the subjectwill be cancelled, until an acceptable project can be found.

Inherent requirements (core participation requirements)
The University of Melbourne is committed to providing students with reasonable adjustments to assessment and participation under the Disability Standards for Education (2005), and the Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326). Students are expected to meet the core participation requirements for their course. These can be viewed under Entry and Participation Requirements for the course outlines in the Handbook.
