Study Details: MSc 30 months
Learn while you work gaining employment specific computer science knowledge, skills and experience through our degree apprenticeship.
Our course is centred on the industrial application of computing and will give you a sound foundation in practical and theoretical computation. You'll focus on the practical application of computing in real-life settings.
You'll gain a broad overview of computer science with opportunities to develop specific skills relevant to your job role with specially developed units.
Our online delivery is designed to minimise the risk of disruption to your work and personal commitments. You will spend around 20% of your time in off-the-job training through academic study relevant to your apprenticeship standard, and the rest of your time reinforcing and embedding your new knowledge and skills on the job with your employer.
You will study online and off-campus through the use of our virtual learning environment. This will include weekly webinars and online collaboration tools. You'll join a supportive community of online learners and take part in online discussions and forums to help develop and support your learning.
Towards the end of the course, you will complete an individual capstone project and develop a portfolio of work before undertaking your End Point Assessment (EPA).
The capstone project is the culmination of your learning and an opportunity to deliver a rigorous piece of independent study designed to demonstrate an understanding of the digital and technological challenges faced by organisations.
On successful completion of the EPA, you will graduate with an MSc in Computer Science and pass the degree apprenticeship.
You should have a first or strong second-class bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent.
To apply for this course you may have an undergraduate degree in any subject, but you must demonstrate evidence of relevant quantitative skills (especially algebra and calculus) either through your degree study or by alternative means. We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
The Director of Studies has the discretion to determine whether you are eligible for the course.
If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years, you completed your degree in the UK, you may be exempt from our English language requirements.
