The MEng Computing Science is a five-year integrated Master's degree which combines our four-year BSc Computing Science with an additional year of postgraduate level study. The extra year allows you to build on your strengths in solving real-world problems while further developing your expertise in areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity.The MEng Computer Science is a 5-year integrated Master's degree which combines undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single degree programme. The additional year allows you to develop a distinctive edge, with advanced courses in high-demand areas including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and cybersecurity.The MEng is a great option therefore if you are looking to work in an advanced technical role in the computer industry or to pursue a PhD or research career.Computing Science at Aberdeen encompasses both the theory and the practice of computing with particular emphasis on developing your technical analysis, design and programming skills. You will study topics including software programming, databases and data management, computer systems, AI and cyber security and learn to apply your technical and creative problem skills to a wide variety of commercial, scientific and socio-economic contexts.Our teaching reflects how advances in computing are constantly transforming how we live, learn, work and socialise – from how we detect and treat disease or analyse business, scientific or social data to how we make online shopping easier and more secure.You will be taught by leading researchers whose work in multi-agent systems, natural language generation, machine learning and blockchain underpins what you will learn in your lectures.Our teaching is also heavily informed by our strong links with industry organisations, who support our students through guest lectures and seminars as well as prizes (including for example Amazon, CGI and ScotlandIS). You can also undertake a placement during your studies, which is an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand professional experience.
