Covering all aspects of computer science, including the underlying principles and theory, this programme will ensure that when you graduate you will know what is and isn’t possible with computers and be able to find solutions to the problems you will encounter in your professional life.<br/>Studying Computer Science MEng (G401), you will not only develop a good ‘all-round’ understanding of the academic discipline of Computer Science, you will also go on to develop a much deeper and systematic specialisation in topics at the forefront of current research. This integrated master’s programme offers the same specialism pathways as G400.<br/><br/>You can choose to maintain a mixture of modules throughout your degree or follow a specialist’s pathway in Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms and Optimisation or Data Science.<br/><br/>This MEng programme is accredited by:<br/><br/>BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional.<br/><br/>This programme is available with either a Year in China or a Year Abroad. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLUs BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. The Year Abroad offers students the opportunity to spend a full academic year studying at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and/or discipline-related modules. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China or a Year Abroad you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
