Modules

This MSci course will allow you to study key areas of computer science at an advanced and in-depth level. Your fourth year consists of an extensive range of optional modules for you to specialise in an area of your choice. This can help prepare you for a specific career or research role. In the first year, you will learn the foundations of computer science. You will be introduced to programming languages such as C, Java and Haskell. We don't expect you to have programmed before so you don't need to worry if you have no experience. You will also be introduced to fundamentals in artificial intelligence, algorithms, and data bases. In year two you will complete a group project. This will be focused on software engineering where you will design and program a computer application. You'll also study core modules in areas such as operating systems, algorithm efficiency, and language and computation. Optional modules are also available for you to study topics that particularly interest you. Year three offers a wide range of flexibility. We offer lots of optional modules so you can choose what you study and tailor your degree to your own interests. These can be in the field of machine learning, advanced algorithms, mobile device programming, or autonomous robotic systems.
