In response to a growing demand for data analysts and computer scientists, we've developed this new course to align with the rapidly evolving needs of industry. The MSc will equip you with a deep and advanced understanding of computer science theory and practice through research-led teaching of both foundational and contemporary Computer Science topics.
You will study four core modules in the areas of programming, artificial intelligence, algorithms, and research methods and ethics. These will be complemented by four further option modules based on the department’s cutting-edge research in areas such as theory, networks, AI and human systems, and vision, imaging and visualisation. The option modules are built around staff specialisms to ensure all content is current and relevant to the industry.
The course will foster and enhance your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with modules that encourage you to analyse complex problems and design and evaluate effective solutions. As an integral part of the MSc, you will engage in hands-on coding, software development and projects to apply your theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Recognising the significance of effective communication and collaboration in computer science, the course enables you to work collaboratively and present your own work. The MSc project provides additional opportunities to apply your knowledge to real-world challenges that align with your academic and career goals. Our strong industry connections also open up opportunities to secure co-supervision of the project with one of our partners.
