Computer Science MSc

From the software we use every day to the systems that support global digital infrastructure, computer science sits at the heart of modern technology. Our Computer Science MSc enables you to deepen your understanding of advanced computing while developing the skills needed to design and build reliable, high-performance systems.

On this course, you will explore both the theoretical foundations and practical techniques that underpin contemporary computer science. You will study topics such as software engineering, advanced data mining, applied artificial intelligence, machine learning and secure system design, developing the ability to select and apply appropriate computational methods to solve complex problems.

Alongside technical knowledge, the course emphasises the design, implementation and evaluation of high-quality computing solutions using modern tools, programming languages, frameworks and development practices. You will also consider important professional issues such as security, ethics and the wider social impact of digital technologies.

A BSc or BEng Honours degree (2:2 or above) in Computing or related subject or an equivalent professional qualification. For applicants who received their degree more than 10 years ago, we will need evidence to demonstrate current knowledge in the subject area, such as reference letters, training certificates or significant relevant work experience.

Other qualifications and/or experience that demonstrate appropriate knowledge and skills at an Honours degree level.
