The Computer Science MSc programme has been designed to provide students with a non-computer science first degree, with the necessary technical knowledge and skills required to take up rewarding careers within the computer science industry, including interdisciplinary career opportunities.
The MSc programme is accredited by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, for the purposes of meeting the further learning academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional.
The programme will allow students to build on their existing undergraduate degrees, and upskill their portfolio of abilities, in the context of current thinking in the domain of computer science.
More specifically, the programme will provide students with a comprehensive insight into the modern computer science landscape and augment this insight with selected specialised knowledge with a focus artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
On completion of the programme, you should have a good understanding of the domain of computer science and the current practice of computer science. You will have gained a systematic insight into the current theory and practice and brought your understanding of the subject matter up-to-date relevant to your first degree or profession.
During your studies, you will develop your ability to work independently, and with others, to research, design, implement and execute creative computer science solutions to practical and commercial problems, and to subject your work and that of others to critical analysis and evaluation.
You will also have an opportunity to create a professional development plan and, throughout the course of the programme, build an e-portfolio that exhibits your understanding of computer science and the practical application of computer science technology.
Applicants should possess either:
(i) a degree in any subject equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree (2:2 or above), or
(ii) at least 2 years experience in employment, which would normally be of a technical nature, comparable with the award of a bachelor's degree
All applicants must have reached a minimum required standard of English language and are required to provide evidence of this. Successful applicants from outside the UK must have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5 overall or equivalent.

The skills gap in the technology industry continues to increase. By studying this conversion degree, you will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to access careers across this field, including within the growing field of artificial intelligence. Job roles you may be eligible for following completion of the programme include software engineer, machine learning practitioner, big data analyst, network administrator, database manager, IT consultant, AI developer, research scientist and information strategy manager.
The Computer Science MSc consists of the following taught modules and a final dissertation project. There is a brief break scheduled between modules to allow students to refresh themselves and reflect on what they have learned.
Shorter postgraduate diploma (120 credits) and postgraduate certificate (60 credits) awards are also available in this subject.
