Overview
The demand for better products and commercial services drives the search for creative solutions using computing-based systems, and has established a critical dependence between computing and practically every industry and sector. This flexible programme offers a broad range of advanced study options, reflecting the emerging technologies in industry.
You will be able to shape your programme to match your interests and career ambitions, choosing modules from a range of areas, including the development of human– computer communications (dialogue systems), ubiquitous computing, applying interactive digital multimedia techniques, security and surveillance, and building decision-support tools for uncertain problems in various contexts (eg legal, medical, safety). This is a multidisciplinary programme and, in addition to pure computer science modules, you may choose options where computer science intersects with other fields and builds on your first degree.
This programme will:
Allow you to personalise your programme through a wide range of employment-relevant module choices.

Course programme
Structure
MSc Computer Science is currently available for one year full-time study, two years part-time study.
Full-timeUndertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the course convenor for precise information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.
Part-timePart-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years. Teaching is generally done during the day and part-time students should contact the course convenor to get an idea of when these teaching hours are likely to take place. Timetables are likely to be finalised in September but you may be able to gain an expectation of what will be required.
Important note regarding part-time study
We regret that, due to complex timetabling constraints, we are not able to guarantee that lectures and labs for part time students will be limited to two days per week and we do not currently support any evening classes. If you have specific enquiries about the timetabling of part time courses, please contact the Postgraduate Course Administrator.
