One of a range of degrees from the taught Masters Programme at the School of Computer ScienceOur course is especially designed for graduatesof numerate subjects other than computerscience. It is mostly taught separately from theother courses.It intensively covers a broad range of the keyprinciples and techniques of computer science.
There is an emphasis on software development,in particular when applied to solving problemsin other disciplines. Depending on the moduleschosen, it can lead to a career in areas such assystems development, IT management, or thedeployment of advanced applications in specificdisciplines.
The course lasts for 12 months over three semesters for the September start or 16 months for the January start, with a break during the summer period: May to September. This break can be used for further study, work experience or a holiday.
On the 1st route, i.e. if your bachelor's degree is not in Computer Science, typically you will study four taught 15-credit foundation modules in the first semester, two or more advanced specialist modules to make a total of 60 credits in the second, and will undertake a 60 credit project in the third.
On the 2nd route, i.e. if your bachelor's degree is in Computer Science, you will study four or more taught, advanced specialist modules in the first two semesters to make a total of 120 credits, and will undertake a 60 credit project in the third. Alternatively you can elect to replace up to 30 credits worth with masters modules taught by the University's Business School.
