MSc Computer Science

Course Overview

January 2023 entry for this programme is not running. We expect the January entry option to be available in January 2024. 

The MSc in Computer Science is a conversion course, suitable if you have limited knowledge of the subject. It offers a pathway towards deeper learning. However, applicants must have experience of Programming - this will be assessed at the application stage. This applies to the January start date only.

Our £32.5m Computational Foundry lies at the heart of this degree. Sophisticated teaching and research equipment include a Vision and Biometric Lab, a Maker Lab, a Theory Lab, a Cyber Security/Networking Lab, a User Lab and Visualisation Suite.

Through a combination of practical and theory-based learning, you will develop a firm understanding of subjects from software concepts and software engineering principles to big data, web application development, and network security.

This understanding, together with a substantial project module, puts you in a strong position when it comes to more advanced study or employment.
