As a Computer Science student at ARU, you’ll cover all aspects of technologies and user environments, along with the skills to create and manage IT solutions. This will include how to apply hardware and software technology to complex user requirements, and ensure their systems are secure. You’ll diagnose problems and respond to operational challenges. You can also build on this by choosing our placement option, allowing you to apply your knowledge in a real-life industry setting, helping you to gain key employability skills for after your degree.
By studying at ARU, you’ll gain practical experience in our advanced computing laboratories, setting up infrastructure and creating database applications, multimedia tools, browsers and server architecture.
Our Computer Science Masters degree course keeps you up-to-date with latest topics and developments in areas such as web applications and e-business engineering. Along the way you’ll acquire the research skills you need to prepare you for your dissertation.
The Masters Project offers a valuable opportunity to do in-depth research on a topic you are particularly interested in For those with business connections, this is a great opportunity to start working on a real-life project, either with a company or in order to prepare for a full time job straight after graduation. Here’s how James’s dissertation project helped him gain his first professional role as an IT development consultant
By the end of the course, you’ll have experience covering the full life cycle of a web application, specifically:

developing the front end and back end of a web app whilst securely storing the data in relational databases
using ontologies as an alternative to the databases to store information and query it
recognising the vulnerabilities and learning techniques to build secure systems
being confident in knowing the infrastructure required to deploy web applications successfully.

From here, you’ll be able to successfully apply your knowledge to the development of any other type of software application (being it mobile, cloud, standalone).
Cambridge is the perfect place to study your Computer Science Masters. Recently named the 'Best UK city to work in' you'll have lots of opportunities to gain relevant work experience locally and, after graduation, can expect an average salary of £35,000. (Glassdoor 2016).
