Course summary

The M.Sc. in Computing enables new graduates and established computing professionals to develop advanced thinking and technical know-how in a range of inter-related technology-centric disciplines.

The programme contains a mix of taught and research modules and places a strong emphasis on honing practical skills. Lectures and practicals are delivered in a dedicated learning environment where students spend the majority of their time on programming and project work. Depending on the modules that you select, you can expect to spend much of each week working on practical computing problems in cloud-based environments using languages like Java, JavaScript, C and Python. Each of the course modules involves the use of modern and AI-enabled compute environments and programming libraries.
