Course summary
Our broad and principled approach to computer science will give you a thorough grounding in theory as well as practical skills, helping you to solve real-world problems.
You will study systems at different levels of abstraction, including digital hardware architectures, low level programming, operating systems, intelligent systems, compilers and high-level languages. You’ll learn to design user-centred systems, recognise the power of data, and build intelligent systems that learn from data.
On this integrated master’s you'll go further and study topics that really interest you to an advanced level, benefitting from access to research in the Department.
You will spend a year in industry, furthering your knowledge, networking and getting real-life experience.
Our courses are designed with our Industrial Advisory Board, so you’ll be well placed to adapt to the workplace.
Accreditation
This course is accredited by:
- BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional
- the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Assessment
We use a variety of assessment techniques throughout your course. This allows you to practice different techniques, from report writing, presentations and live demos to timed programming assessments and closed exams. It also means that you are not disadvantaged by being assessed in any one way.
Careers and skills
The move towards a digital economy creates demand for computer scientists and software engineers across a broad section of employers, so the skills you develop here will make you attractive to many organisations. Most of our graduates go into the field of IT/Computing, followed by Financial Services, some undertake further study (e.g. PhD) and others go straight into industry (for example working for IBM, BAE Systems etc).
Many of our graduates are employed by software and electronics industries, but the continuing expansion of the use of computers in commercial and financial operations means that you will be able to find employment in other industries - and here your sharpened numeracy and analytical skills will have prepared you well.
