Computer science is one of the fastest growing subjects around the world. From its theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge development in robotics and intelligent systems, it is a wide field which needs an increasing number of suitably educated individuals to support it.
This computer science masters introduces learners to a number of software and hardware technologies and their real world applications. They'll learn about abstraction, complexity, evolutionary change, sharing of common resources, security and concurrency. From system functionality to usability and performance, students will also be better placed to solve real-life problems with an understanding of how they affect people’s lives.
The course is delivered in four major blocks to offer an intensive but focused learning pattern. Full-time students will typically spend 12 hours in classes and 24 hours outside of classes each week. Students will also work on a significant research project of their own choice, where strong independent thinking, critical analysis and project management skills will be important.
USW's facilities are at the cutting edge of computer development, meaning students will use the latest technologies in high-spec labs. They'll also find dedicated spaces on campus for computing students, including Windows, Apple Mac, Linux and Networking suites, all with the latest software.
Through the Erasmus scheme, students could have the opportunity to attend summer schools in advanced computer vision and machine learning with USW's partners in TEI of Crete, University of Patras, University of Burgundy, Cyprus University of Technology, Polytechnic Institute of Porto and the University of Salento.
Graduates with an MSc Computer Science will be suitable for roles in software development, database administration, computer hardware engineering, computer systems analysis, computer network architecture, web development, information security analysis, computer programming and computer networks. Students who complete computing masters will be educated to a professional standard in a range of fields related to computer science, and will have improved transferable skills including problem solving, communication, team working, effective use of IT facilities and information retrieval.
