Computer Science

This MSc combines programming and artificial intelligence, with project management and research methods, which prepare students for postgraduate study and industry practice. It suits graduates who want practical skills for technical careers in software and data. The programming strand covers event-driven programming, design patterns, and development and deployment with industry-standard tools. The AI strand looks at computer models and simulation, building the ability to apply intelligent techniques to real problems and to explain their results. Teaching is informed by staff with research, consultancy and industry experience, and by real-world case studies drawn from their own projects. The course is available full-time and part-time, so students can fit study around work. Graduates are equipped for software development, data-focused roles and further research.
