If you didnt study computer science at degree level, this MSc combines a wide-ranging introduction to the analysis, design and implementation of computer systems, with a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge research. You'll be immersed in software design, programming, datasets, information systems and web applications and develop all the skills needed to conduct independent research in computer science
This MSc provides a depth of knowledge in computer science, underpinned by a thorough understanding of key issues at the forefront of current research in this discipline.
Youll learn how to design and create software, gain experience of modern programming languages, and discover how databases are used in modern information systems, from supermarket checkouts to online banking.
Well also equip you with a good understanding of the most significant technologies for developing web applications. These include HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, and PHP.
Further opportunities to specialise and enhance your knowledge are available through a range of optional modules. You could choose to focus on topics including artificial intelligence, biologically inspired optimisation, neural networks, data mining, machine learning, multi-agent systems, e-commerce, online map visualisations, or software safety and dependability.
Youll have the opportunity to work as part of a small group on a practical project to find a solution to a computer science problem. Well also provide a thorough grounding in how to plan and conduct research in preparation for your dissertation.
This MSc is suitable for graduates with a science or engineering background, such as a degree in mathematics or physical sciences, who wish to build upon the IT skills and knowledge gained during undergraduate study. The programme is not suitable for computer science graduates. If you already have a degree in computer science, you may be interested in Advanced Computer Science with a Year in Industry MSc.
Youll graduate ready for a wide range of careers in the IT industry. You may wish to join the many students who seek employment at the interface of the IT domain and the subject matter of your first degree. The programme also provides a strong foundation for potential PhD research.
We accept a 2:2 honours degree from a UK university, or an equivalent academic qualification from a similar non-UK institution. This degree should be in a science or engineering related subject, such as Mathematics or Physical Sciences, but should not be in Computer Science.
