The Master of Computing Research (MCR) programme is a one year full time research degree equivalent to SQLF Level 9, and it intends to encourage final-year undergraduate students to extend their final year dissertation work for the dissertation of the Master of Computing Research degree. The programme would provide a bridging programme for students who excel in their undergraduate studies.
