Whether you want to gain a competitive edge in the graduate employment market or prepare for a research career, this four-year Integrated Master's Degree can help you get on the fast track to your professional goals.
Our four-year MSci in Computer Science combines undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single course. If you plan to pursue a research career or an advanced technical career in your field, this course is for you.
The course is identical to our equivalent three-year course but provides the opportunity to explore Computer Science in greater detail by offering a fourth year of study. In the fourth year, you will choose to study a selection of optional modules that will provide you with exposure to a wide set of skills and knowledge across the breadth of Computer Science research. These modules are based around advanced topics in the School's main research areas.
You will also complete a major team project developing new research and technology under the supervision of one of our academic staff. This will compound all the knowledge you have learnt on the course, as well as helping you to develop transferable technical, analytical and professional skills, supported by a broad awareness of current technology trends. The course covers a mixture of core techniques and concepts, advanced programming languages and paradigms and evolving, technology-based subject matter.
As a graduate, you will be able to objectively analyse problems and develop appropriate computational solutions. Your detailed understanding of technology and advanced problem-solving skills will make you suitable for a range of careers.
