Computer technology pervades almost every aspect of our modern lives - from the increasingly sophisticated electronic devices and software applications we use to the way we gather, store, process and analyze data. We are living in a powerful digital age with new technological advances on the horizon. Computer Science graduates with up-to-the-minute skills and abilities are therefore in high demand across a diverse range of industries. The Master of Science (Honours) in Computer Science course can equip students with the practical and theoretical skills needed to pursue the challenging and rewarding careers that exist in computing. This British Computer Society (BCS)-accredited course provides students with a strong foundation in the critical areas of computer science (with core modules in such areas as logic, programming and software engineering) while also giving students the opportunity to tailor the degree to their own strengths, interests and career aspirations through specialised optional modules covering areas like robotics and network security). Students will conduct their own research project supervised by a member of our academic staff. The final year of the course provides students with substantial research experience (a thesis and a group project). Students can choose to add further value to their degree by taking the placement year option and spending a year on professional placement gaining work experience that could give them a competitive edge in the graduate jobs market.
