MSc Computer Science programme is especially designed for graduates of numerate subjects other than computer science. It is mostly taught separately from the other courses and intensively covers a broad range of the key principles and techniques of computer science.
There is an emphasis on software development, in particular when applied to solving problems in other disciplines. Depending on the modules chosen, it can lead to a career in areas such as systems development, IT management, or the deployment of advanced applications in specific disciplines. Students will develop knowledge and skills in the models, methodologies, measures and tools that can be employed in software development considered as an engineering discipline.
Classes consist of lectures, small group seminars, and practical work in well-equipped laboratories. The University use modern, industry-standard software wherever possible. There are specialist facilities for networking and multimedia and a project laboratory especially for masters students. In addition to scheduled classes, students will be expected to spend significant amount of time in self-study, taking advantage of the extensive and up-to-date facilities like the Learning Resource Centres, open 24x7, with 1,500 computer workstations and Wi-Fi access; Studynet, a versatile online study environment usable on and off campus; and open access to labs.
This program is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS) enabling graduates to register at The Chartered Institute for IT as a Chartered IT Professional.
