Master of Science - Advanced Computer Science

Students will broaden their knowledge of cutting-edge areas in computing. This Advanced Computer Science Masters/MSc programme is designed for graduates with a degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, and a solid foundation in programming. Drawing on the School’s international research reputation, students will have the opportunity to select from a broad range of advanced modules to reflect their own interests. Students will also undertake their own software-development or summer project (which may be research-focused) to deepen their knowledge even further. It is essential preparation for a career in academic or industrial research. In the first eight months of the course, students study their choice of taught modules to a total of 120 credits, which may include a mini-project. In the final four months, students will work on their summer project and dissertation, individually supervised by a member of the research-active staff in the school.
