Master of Science - Advanced Computer Science (Professional Placement)

The MSc Advanced Computer Science programme is designed to develop students’ ability to apply tools and techniques for creating computer system solutions, supported by a strong mathematical and scientific foundation and an understanding of professional standards and industry requirements.

The course covers a range of advanced topics in computer science, including ontological engineering, service-oriented design, database design, data engineering, and mobile application development. It also provides a solid grounding in research methods and project management, preparing students for independent study and professional practice.

A key component of the programme is an individual project, which allows students to demonstrate both technical expertise and employability skills. This project reflects real-world graduate-level tasks, requiring in-depth knowledge in a chosen area of computer science, as well as the ability to manage resources, address broader considerations, and design, implement, and evaluate effective solutions.

Throughout the programme, students are supported by experienced academic staff with expertise in areas such as intelligent systems, mobile computing, the Semantic Web, machine learning, and software engineering. Their research and industry experience informs and enhances the delivery of the curriculum.
