Course summary
If you want to establish a career in software development, and your first degree is not in computer science, then our MSc Computer Science is designed for you. Today’s digital society relies on high quality computer systems to deliver services that matter, when, where and to whom they are needed. Computational devices are everywhere: your car, your hospital, your bank, your supermarket, your phone, your doorbell. The global networks over which they interact follow you around and include data that is both highly personal and yet vast. The complexity and significance of the interactions between these devices, these networks and these data are accelerating. Yet, beneath this unimaginable complexity, a relatively small set of principles supports this digital eco-system upon which modern society is so reliant. This course initiates your career to shape this digital eco-system to do better things in the decades ahead. Bringing together computer science theory with modern software development practice, on this course we will equip you with sought-after skills and knowledge in:
- software engineering
- database systems
- object-oriented programming
- the latest developments in AI
