The Advanced Computer Science Masters course will enable you to develop a high level of understanding and technical skill at the leading edge of the subject. This course has been specifically designed to address the pace of change in this vibrant discipline by giving you breadth of knowledge in several areas, a range of advanced skills, and the expertise necessary to engage in work at the forefront of the application of computer science. You'll gain experience of working as part of a highly-specialised research group through the individual project which is an integral part of the course. This is a full-time, one year taught course, intended for students who already have a good first degree in computer science, software engineering or a closely related discipline, who would like to develop a deeper level of understanding and technical skill. The course will build on your existing strong foundation in computer science. It will enable you to undertake more senior roles in the IT industry, engage in cutting-edge research and development or progress to a Computer Science PhD once you have successfully completed the course. Computer Science is based on Campus East. The majority of teaching on this course takes place on Campus East in the Computer Science building and Ron Cooke Hub.
