Are you looking to expand your career possibilities in tech? This masters degree is for ambitious graduates with a non-computing background - no coding experience needed. Develop skills in programming and a range of topics including computer science, software engineering, cybersecurity and AI. Finish ready to secure high-value roles in this fast-growing industry.
This intensive, one-year master's degree is designed for ambitious graduates from any non-computing discipline who wish to receive a grounding in the fundamentals of computer science, software engineering and artificial intelligence.
This programme will equip you with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that employers require for graduate roles in the tech sector - whether they're general technology positions or specialised roles that combine computer science with your original degree area.
You will learn through a programme of related lectures, labs and tutorials covering topics such as software engineering, object-oriented programming, algorithms and data structures, cybersecurity risk management, cyber threat detection, project management, and artificial intelligence.
As part of the programme, you will learn the theoretical aspects of software engineering and will also experience the practical aspects, by working in a small team tasked with analysis, design and implementation of software. You will use tools, methodologies and practices widely adopted in the technology industry.
A third of your study time will be devoted to an individual dissertation, where you will collaborate closely with staff to carry out research in topics such as machine learning, cybersecurity, or software development.
You will develop technical and soft skills - in areas such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity - that will prepare you for in-demand technology careers in both industry and academia.
