Computer science supports the build, development and use of computer systems.
There is a growing need across the world for skilled, advanced computer science professionals. This course helps you develop the skills necessary to design and deploy sophisticated modern software systems in a range of application areas.
You’ll improve your practical software engineering skills and learn new theories of software development. This course gives you the necessary qualifications to get a skilled position in the computing industry.
What you’ll study
On our Advanced Computer Science with Software Engineering Masters, you’ll study two 11-week semesters, each with three or four modules.
Each module typically has:
four hours of lectures
laboratory practicals and/or tutorials
Additional study time is required to enhance and apply your understanding of the topics covered, through further reading, self-directed study and assignments.
In the summer, between June and August, you’ll undertake an in-depth three-month research project.
A range of software systems are used to build reliable, scalable and quality solutions, and you will apply rigorous methodologies through experimental design and exploratory modelling. For example you will:
look at AI-based approaches in detail and examine how they have been applied to a range of software engineering problems
become familiar with a number of different cloud NoSQL systems and with the Map-Reduce programming paradigm
demonstrate the ability to implement selections from a range of the software typically used in mobile environments.
Careers:
There will be opportunities for you to meet industry employers and take part in recruitment events, in addition to taking advantage of a wealth of support offered by our award-winning careers service.
We have a dedicated careers fair for our computer science and information management students each year, with over 30 leading companies, including:
Amazon
JP Morgan
Morgan Stanley
British Telecom
Bridgeall
Kana
Skyscanner
ThinkAnalytics
As a graduate of our Advanced Computer Science with Software Engineering, you could be an analyst, architect or developer. There's a demand for advanced practitioners and researchers in the growing area of embedded systems development.
Minimum second-class (2:2) Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in computer science, software engineering, or a closely-related discipline.
Significant software development skills, ideally in Java or another object-oriented language, are essential.
