MSc Computer Science

• The MSc Computer Science is a specialist programme that has the core aim of preparing students for both an industrial career, equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the advanced concepts, paradigms, algorithms, theories and techniques underpinning advanced computing systems, in addition to providing a relevant platform to embark on further research studies. The course covers leading-edge subjects in areas of Advanced Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things.

  Further motivated by evidence of demand from industry and business for upskilling of staff in the areas of Computer Science, The MSc in Computer Science will strive to address the growing demands in the sector by training a new kind of Computing specialist who is able to both manage data, understand business process and implement solutions subsequently interconnecting them as part of a larger system.

  The delivery of the course is supported by multi-million pound infrastructure of a large-scale pervasive and mobile computing environment, a suite of contemporary sensing technologies and rapid prototyping facilities. The course content has been informed by internationally leading research being conducted in the School and by our strong industry partnerships.
