Course Description

Become a computer scientist in just one-year through this conversion programme and enhance your career prospects in a growing and innovative field. The Computer Science MSc teaches everything from programming to app engineering while providing opportunities to create solutions for industrial or research clients. Taught at UCL, world-renowned for computer science research, this is an exceptional place to build your foundations as a computer scientist.

Computer science permeates almost every sector and industry today. Equipping yourself with the sought-after skills required to be a developer, software engineer, or related role places you in an exceptional position to thrive in the world of computing.

This programme is equally ideal for those who want to complement their existing scientific knowledge with computer science skills, or for those from different disciplines who want to switch career paths to work in this field.

On this programme, you will learn from renowned academics in computer science. The curriculum is based on the latest trends and is constantly updated due to the fast-paced developments in innovation and technology.

You will learn programming, app engineering, computer architecture, and algorithmics. You can also choose from optional modules that range from interaction design to machine learning.

You will also undertake a substantial project, either working with a company to help solve a real-world problem, or with a research group at UCL Computer Science if you are interested in further research or academia.

This programme gives you key skills that will enable you to seek a career in a computer science field. You'll learn in the heart of London in an inclusive environment alongside like-minded people from across the world.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree (or international qualification of an equivalent standard) in a subject other than computer science or information technology. Evidence should be included within the application to demonstrate suitable mathematical skills (to at least Mathematics A-level standard), and analytical skills. Although, the programme is intended for those who are new to Computer Science, applicants must ensure they have standard computational thinking skills, as programming is a core part of the programme.
