Master of Science - Advanced Computer Science

Students can develop their skills, knowledge, and understanding of computing and software development whilst designing, developing and producing computer software packages, ensuring they have the skills required to work in the field of computing. This course is highly flexible with a range of modules available, including computer graphics, big data analysis, and agile engineering, allowing students to shape their study to fit their chosen path.

Regular seminars and guest speakers allow students to learn from those working within the industry, increasing their understanding of real life situations they could face in their career. Learners will also have access to a range of conventional and specialized equipment and software, such as Windows Azure, Teradata, and Tableau, helping to further develop their skills and understanding.

Under the guidance of academic staff, students will undertake a major software development project. Recent projects examples have looked at helping people to remember strong passwords and developing a 3D android game.
