Summary

Overview

If you are a graduate from any non-computing discipline and interested in digital technologies and computing, our MSc Computing Science is particularly designed for you to broaden your existing knowledge to computing science.

This course does not require any prior knowledge or experience of computing as it will start by teaching you the fundamentals of application programming, web development and databases. It then steers your learning, based on your own aspirations, towards more advanced specialised areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, secure software development, data mining, computer vision, and modern embedded technology.

When you graduate, you’ll be professionally competitive and highly flexible. You’ll be in a great position to take a career in a challenging and changing employment environment. Over the years, our graduates have found employment in companies like Microsoft, BT, Aviva, WorldPay, PwC, Morgan Stanley, and China Mobile, and in public sector organisations like the Office for National Statistics or research institutes.

About This Course

As this course is designed for graduates of the non-computing discipline, you will start it by learning some foundational knowledge and essential skills in computing science intensively and then move on to learn some advanced or specialised knowledge.

In addition, you’ll be trained to develop your generic and transferable skills in the areas of such as communication, critical thinking and reasoning, problem solving, technical writing, independent and team working and project management. You’ll also learn about computing professionalism and ethics.

You’ll take three fundamental modules which will teach you essential knowledge and skills in three main and important areas in computing. These modules lay solid foundations that you can build on with more advanced and/or specialised optional modules.

You’ll do a dissertation project from January to late August. This gives you the chance to specialise in a specific topic and work closely with our world-leading academics. You can choose a project from a list created by our faculty members and/or industrial collaborators, or you can propose your own project if you have a good idea (subject to some conditions). You’ll have a supervisor from the School. You’ll write a report on your work, develop a software and present it; this will give you the opportunity to develop academic writing and communication skills. There is a possibility that your dissertation could be accepted for publication, or used in research, industry or business.
