In the past, Computer Science has partnered with universities in other countries such as Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates. Currently, the Computer Science and Computer Information Systems graduate programs collaborate with Vietnam National University (VNU) to enable its graduates to pursue the Master of Science. Under the partnership, VNU offers transitional courses to prepare its graduates (as well as graduates of the Vietnam campus of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) to enter our CS and CIS programs.
