Course overview
Extend your knowledge of computer science on an MSc that will place you at the cutting edge of the discipline. The wide range of options on the programme will enable you to develop expertise in computer science research while tailoring your studies to your own interests, prior to an extended industrial placement in a real-world environment.
INTRODUCTION
Underpinning and enhancing your existing knowledge and understanding of computer science, this MSc will equip you with new skills and provide a strong basis for your future career in the IT industry.
Year one is highly flexible, with one compulsory module that will develop the skills needed to conduct computer science research.
You’ll choose remaining topics from a variety of optional modules. You could opt to focus on practical algorithms and data mining techniques, discover biologically inspired optimisation, hone your expertise in advanced web technologies, or be introduced to neural networks for artificial intelligence.
Whether you’re interested in technical and organisational discussions about cryptography and security or want to enhance your understanding of how maps can be visualised online, the number of options ensures you can tailor the programme to your individual needs.
You’ll also have the chance to participate in a group project where you can work with your peers as part of a programming team to find a solution to a practical problem.
In year two, you’ll undertake an industrial project, that’s research or application oriented, in a real-world environment as part of an extended placement opportunity.
You will normally need a 2:1 honours degree, or above, or equivalent. This degree should be in computer science or a closely related subject.
