Masters Degree Description

If you want to establish a career in software development, and your first degree is not in computer science, then our MSc Computer Science is designed for you.

Today’s digital society relies on high quality computer systems to deliver services that matter, when, where and to whom they are needed. 

Computational devices are everywhere: your car, your hospital, your bank, your supermarket, your phone, your doorbell. The global networks over which they interact follow you around and include data that is both highly personal and yet vast. The complexity and significance of the interactions between these devices, these networks and these data are accelerating.

Entry Requirements

2:2 honours degree in any subject. Note that applicants with a recent degree in a subject area related to Computer Science are advised to apply for MSc Advanced Computer Science, or another specialist MSc option. Applicants with a non-standard background will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
