Summary

This MSc conversion programme is for students from a variety of academic backgrounds who have little or no previous academic computing experience. We would, however, encourage prospective students to try a basic online course in programming (in any language) before applying so that they can confirm they have both the appetite and aptitude for this discipline. The aims of the programme are to build:

  • an understanding of the basis of computer science and its importance in software development;

  • an understanding of the underlying principles of computer systems and their applications;

  • an introduction to industrial-style methods of analysis, design, implementation, testing and documentation in software development;

  • an appreciation of the current state and future directions of technological advances in computer science.
