Computer Science MSc

Are you ready to launch a new career in tech and help shape the digital world?

Computer science is the study of how computers and software work. It involves designing, building, and improving programs, systems, and databases. Computer scientists create solutions to solve real-world problems using technology. This course will teach you the skills and knowledge to:

• develop software
• design systems
• understand how users interact with technology

If you have a degree in a non-computing subject and want to gain computing skills, this course is for you. It’s a conversion degree, so you can switch careers or qualify in a new field.

You will learn through a hands-on, practical approach. This will build your confidence from the ground up. You’ll take part in workshops and interactive lectures. You will also take part in group projects that mirror real industry practices.

Increased employability

The Computer Science MSc prepares you for exciting roles in the tech industry. You’ll learn to design and develop software solutions. You will also gain an understanding of database systems and human-computer interaction.

You’ll study modules like software development and software engineering to build a strong foundation. You’ll also use industry-standard tools like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft tools, and Tableau. These practical skills are highly valued by employers and will help you stand out.

Seminars and guest talks from industry professionals provide insights into real-life challenges. You’ll gain the knowledge to tackle problems and succeed in your computing career.
