Course summary
Program your future, just the way you want it. Whether you’re an aspiring programmer, software engineer, data or computer scientist, this Master’s course is the ideal opportunity to set yourself apart from other graduates.
Starting from your BSc degree in computing science (or equivalent), you’ll broaden and deepen your knowledge to an advanced level in research-led subjects such as programming language paradigms, artificial intelligence, cyber security, data science, computer graphics and vision.
Your studies will culminate in an MSc research project on a suitable topic of your choice – giving you the chance to showcase everything you’ve learned and demonstrate your research abilities. The emphasis on research is a perfect preparation for the job market once you graduate or alternatively, to do further research studies.
ABOUT
From day one, you’ll be immersed in the expertise of our world-leading research team who work at the cutting edge of computing science.
You’ll study key core subjects including our flagship module Advanced Programming. This will cover historical, established and upcoming programming languages, compilers and interpreters, functional languages, assembly and intermediate languages, code optimisation, high performance computing, software testing and modern software frameworks. The final deliverable of this module will see you produce a prototype of a professional standard software product to tackle a real-world problem. You’ll develop this in groups or individually, following industrial software engineering practice and guidelines.
Your compulsory Research Techniques module will help you master crucial skills such as writing scientific reports and analysing and critically reviewing scientific publications. You will also develop your ability to analyse and process big data resources using basic and advanced statistical methods.
It’s all brought to life in our specialist MSc lab with humanoid robots, haptic feedback devices, optical motion capture and highres video cameras and mainstream Virtual Reality (VR) hardware.
Thanks to our strong ties with the IT and computing industries, we're able to shape our course content and coursework projects based on current trends and real-world problems. This ensures that your experience is aligned with the industries that you may well be moving into after your course.
