Course summary

This MSc immerses you in theoretical computer science, with a particular focus on computational game theory, where computer science and economics intersect. This is an area of rapid growth where skilled professionals are in high demand. Based in the School of Computer Science & Informatics, you’ll learn from leading academic experts and find a culture of research excellence with close links to industry. We’ll augment and enrich your knowledge with specialist analytical tools and develop your ability to identify and execute creative solutions to practical problems. You’ll receive a comprehensive introduction to computational game theory and focus on algorithmic aspects of game theory in depth. Exploring the computational aspects of the design of mechanisms and auctions, you’ll also examine optimisation methods and their application to various optimisation models. Optional modules include opportunities to work with large datasets, specialise in the design and analysis of algorithms, discover the essentials of microeconomic theory, or investigate e-commerce technologies. We’ll prepare you for an independent research project, where you’ll plan and conduct research and analyse your findings, by equipping you with all the skills you’ll need to conduct research in computer science.
