Study Details: Full-time: 14 months Part-time: 24 months
Study Walbrook's Computer Science MSc and get the experience and career development support to step into high-demand roles such as software developer, cyber security analyst, or AI engineer.
Through a dynamic mix of theory and applied projects, you’ll master the computer science concepts and skills employers demand – from modern database systems and artificial intelligence to cloud computing and cyber security. Deepen your expertise in data structures, computer systems, and programming, sharpen your professional edge in project management, and explore emerging fields like large language models and advanced security practice. Finally, conduct a research project shaped by your interests – whether in machine learning, operating systems, or software development.
Delivered 100% online, this MSc Computer Science is flexible enough to fit around your work and home life. Designed for graduates from non-computing backgrounds, this programme is perfect if you plan to move into tech or move up into high-impact computing roles, while getting guidance from expert lecturers and a dedicated Student Success Coordinator.
This is a conversion master’s degree – designed for people who didn’t study computing at undergraduate level. To apply, you’ll need to meet the following entry requirements:
A UK honours degree at 2:2 or above (or equivalent international qualification) in a subject other than computing.
If you hold a non-honours degree and 2 years’ professional experience in one or more computing-related roles, you’re still encouraged to apply. We’ll review your academic and professional background on a case-by-case basis. In exceptional cases, applicants without a first degree but with more than two years’ relevant professional experience in computing-related roles may be considered.

The UK tech sector is worth $1.2 trillion (Tech Nation Report 2025) – growing faster than its European rivals. Yet 1 in 3 UK founders say finding top talent is their biggest barrier to growth. With the government estimating that the digital skills gap costs the UK economy £63 billion a year (Digital skills and careers, 2024), demand for skilled computing professionals is high.
An MSc Computer Science puts you in prime position to meet that demand. You’ll graduate with the technical knowledge, research power, and problem-solving skills to excel in high-demand technology roles worldwide. Whatever your direction, this programme gives you the expertise to drive change, shape systems, and create impact.
On this online Computer Science MSc programme, you’ll study a series of carefully designed modules. With flexible monthly starts, you’ll join the next available module and study alongside a cohort of computer science master's students learning the same subject at the same time.
