Course summary

Computer science supports the build, development and use of computer systems.

There is a growing need across the world for skilled, advanced computer science professionals. This course helps you develop the skills necessary to design and deploy sophisticated modern software systems in a range of application areas.

Youll improve your practical software engineering skills and learn new theories of software development. This course gives you the necessary qualifications to get a skilled position in the computing industry.

What youll study
On our Advanced Computer Science with Software Engineering Masters, youll study two 11-week semesters, each with three or four modules.

Each module typically has:

four hours of lectures
laboratory practicals and/or tutorials
Additional study time is required to enhance and apply your understanding of the topics covered, through further reading, self-directed study and assignments.

In the summer, between June and August, youll undertake an in-depth three-month research project.

A range of software systems are used to build reliable, scalable and quality solutions, and you will apply rigorous methodologies through experimental design and exploratory modelling. For example you will:

look at AI-based approaches in detail and examine how they have been applied to a range of software engineering problems
become familiar with a number of different cloud NoSQL systems and with the Map-Reduce programming paradigm
demonstrate the ability to implement selections from a range of the software typically used in mobile environments.
Careers:
There will be opportunities for you to meet industry employers and take part in recruitment events, in addition to taking advantage of a wealth of support offered by our award-winning careers service.
