Computer Science MSc

The MSc Computer Science programme is designed for individuals from diverse academic backgrounds seeking a seamless transition into the dynamic field of Computer Science. This one-year programme combines theoretical foundations with practical, hands-on experience to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge demanded by the diverse application domains of society and industry. <br/><br/>The programme structure is designed to provide the core concepts in computer science in term 1, such as algorithms and architectures, data systems, programming and security. In term 2 this foundation of knowledge will be extended to the practical domains with the introduction of ethical and governance frameworks as well as professional frameworks in software development. Also in term 2 students will have the opportunity to explore a number of applications. Finally the capstone project of the degree will be an individual research project completed under the supervision of a computer science academic. <br/><br/>By the end of the degree programme you will have learned the core principles of computer science and mastered the practical skills to solve real-world problems through the application of computer science. <br/><br/><br/>- Intended for graduates from a non-computing background who aspire to work with computers in a range of industries. <br/><br/><br/>- Designed to complement your first degree with the knowledge, and skills, required to thrive in the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of computer science. <br/><br/><br/>- Enhances employability in a competitive job market by providing you with both specialised technical knowledge and the communication skills often sought by employers. <br/><br/><br/>- Learn about the latest developments, tools and methodologies in areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber security, human-centred computing and software engineering. <br/><br/><br/>- Encourages the application of knowledge from different disciplines to provide an integrated approach to problem-solving. <br/>
