The degree of Doctor of Computer Science (DCompSci, DSc.Comp, DCS, D.C.Sc.) is a doctorate in Computer Science by dissertation or multiple research papers. The DCompSci often requires coursework beyond the masters' level in addition to research that results in a dissertation that contributes to computer theory or practice.

Structure
Typical entry requirements include MSc, MScEcon or similar master's degrees, or equivalent qualifications in information systems management, or in a functional field by examination awarded by a professional body. Often Universities will also ask for significant experience in professional supervisory position involving responsibility for IT management issues. The DCompSci, DCS, or D.C.Sc. CAND. normally requires a significant dissertation or final comprehensive research project including a formal defense and approval by nominated examiners or an officially sanctioned and qualified doctoral review committee. The degree is conferred when all coursework, testing, and written research is completed satisfactorily and when it has been examined, reviewed and approved by the awarding institution.

The University Context
Acknowledging the diversity of structures and nomenclature used in different universities, it is expected that responsibility for the overall quality of a DCompSci or D.C.Sc. CAND. program within the University context will reside within the Research Degrees Committee (or equivalent), rather than any other structures which might regard it as a taught course. DCompSci or D.C.Sc. CAND. programs must have a specific set of university regulations and must be subject to appropriate quality approval processes. Regulations should include reference to protocols for treating ethical issues in research, including those involving researchers working within the organisation that employs them and/or having access to privileged information.
