Computing Science/Theatre Studies - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

Computing science is wide-ranging: from programming and engineering large software systems, to the design and evaluation of human–computer interfaces, algorithms, computer and network systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval and big data systems. This degree programme examines the theatrical event and theatre culture from critical, historical and practical perspectives.

The School of Computing Science launched the pioneering Centre for Computing Science Education, in recognition of our commitment to leadership and innovation in educational practice. We have close connections with the theatre industry, giving you opportunities to learn from and engage with practitioners of national and international standing.

Recent graduates are employed as software engineers and systems analysts with companies such as Google, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Skyscanner and Yahoo. Our graduates have gone on to a wide range of careers, many of which are closely connected to professional theatre-making, arts production and management. Recent graduates have, for instance, become successful theatre directors, casting agents, arts managers, producers and administrators, stand-up comedians and playwrights. Others take career paths in, for example, teaching or community arts.
