Computing is a creative and wide-ranging subject that focuses on using sound underlying principles and logical thinking to design and build systems that really work.
This course allows you to focus on the way software is engineered to form complex computing systems. Your specialism will give you a deep understanding of state-of-the-art methods for developing complex software systems that are easy to test, maintain and extend and that fulfil the needs of their users.
You'll learn how modern computer and communications systems function, and how they can be used and adapted to build the next generation of reliable and secure computing applications.
The core of this programme has been designed to give you an overview of computing, an understanding of the basic concepts and principles, the ability to appreciate and adapt to changes in technology, and practical experience in applied computing.
A special emphasis of your studies will be on the fundamental principles underlying computing and on the engineering considerations involved in computing system design, implementation and usage. You will be introduced to computing architecture and hardware, and the software used to exploit them.
It will also equip you with a strong background in discrete mathematics (logic, sets, relations and grammar), classical mathematics and statistics relevant to applications engineering and management.
Throughout the programme, you will attend laboratory and problem-solving classes, as well as completing project and design work. As the course progresses, you will study advanced techniques and modules – many of which draw on current research taking place in the Department.
At the end of your third year, you will gain valuable skills and experience by completing an industrial placement. Your study reaches Master's level in the final year, with a wide choice of optional modules and a substantial individual project on a subject of your choice.

Imperial College London offers in the region of 250 postgraduate taught degrees and research qualifications within science, engineering, technology, medicine and business (STEMB).

As a specialist institution, teaching is spread across their four faculties:


Imperial has a number of Global Challenge Institutes and research centers which offer qualifications at postgraduate level. .


Admissions
If you intend to apply for a master’s degree the college minimum requirement is a UK Lower Second Class Honours degree. The majority of courses have higher requirements, usually a minimum of a UK Upper Second Class Honours. They also accept a wide range of international qualifications.

For admission to a PhD, MPhil, MD (Res) or EngD research program the College would normally expect you to hold or achieve a master's degree, in addition to a bachelor's degree at UK Upper Second Class Honours level.

For entry requirements relating to a specific master’s degree, see their online course pages . All entry requirements reflect the minimum requirement needed to be considered for admission. They often ask for higher than their minimum requirements, due to the demanding and competitive nature of their programs.

Meeting academic requirements does not guarantee entry, it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision: other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a College-approved English test to the standard set out in the requirements for your course of interest), relevant work experience and references are also important.


Language support

While all of their degree courses are taught in English, the College offers a number of resources to students whose first language is not English through their Centre for Academic English, including:


Tuition fees

Fees vary by course and year of entry. For more information, see their Fees and Funding website.

The College offers 50 President’s PhD scholarships for high-performing students, but consult their scholarships search tool for more information about further funding opportunities worth exploring.

To Apply, see their postgraduate admissions website for more information.
