Program Overview

Advanced qualification

Combine undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single course designed for students who wish to differentiate themselves through an advanced mastery of the discipline.

 

Team-based project work

Develop the professional skills that graduate employers are looking for by completing a substantial team-based project at an advanced level in your final year.

 

Specialise your degree

Alongside learning core topics, you have the opportunity to specialise your degree through project work and a range of optional modules. You can develop your interests in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, computer graphics and large scale databases.

 

Excellent facilities

You will be taught in Abacws - the new home for the School of Computer Science and Informatics. This world-leading facility has been designed in collaboration with students and academic staff to create interdisciplinary, flexible and creative workspaces, with innovative teaching areas being a key feature, including a new Makerspace and IT workshop to support practical computer science projects.

 

Professionally accredited course

This degree is accredited by the BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.

 

Our four-year MSci in Computer Science combines undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single course. If you plan to pursue a research career or an advanced technical career in your field, this course is for you. 

 

The course is identical to our equivalent three-year course but provides the opportunity to explore Computer Science in greater detail by offering a fourth year of study. In the fourth year, you will choose to study a selection of optional modules that will provide you with exposure to a wide set of skills and knowledge across the breadth of Computer Science research. These modules are based around advanced topics in the School's main research areas.

 

You will also complete a major team project developing new research and technology under the supervision of one of our academic staff. This will compound all the knowledge you have learnt on the course, as well as helping you to develop transferable technical, analytical and professional skills, supported by a broad awareness of current technology trends. The course covers a mixture of core techniques and concepts, advanced programming languages and paradigms and evolving, technology-based subject matter.

 

As a graduate, you will be able to objectively analyse problems and develop appropriate computational solutions. Your detailed understanding of technology and advanced problem-solving skills will make you suitable for a range of careers.
