Our four-year degrees are a one-year extension to our BSc degrees, which allows further specialisation. You can decide if you want to develop your research skills by working alongside our academics and researchers on one of their projects, or you can join our student-led software organisation, Genesys, where you will be able to put your academic skills into context by working on solutions for clients.
Embark on a transformative journey with our hands-on and comprehensive four-year MComp in Computer Science, where you will learn the fundamentals of computer science and work collaboratively on a specialised research project.
Delve into the core concepts of computer science to develop your problem-solving skills, and learn how to apply your knowledge to engineer solutions that shape our digital world.
In this ever-evolving field there are no shortage of subjects to explore, and you will have the chance to experiment with cutting-edge technologies to develop your skills. These include speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, and machine learning to name a few.
Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the later years a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. These include topics such as software reengineering, cyber security, and more.
On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your third year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year long individual project guided by one of your lecturers.
In your fourth year you will be able to specialise further and get the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. Plus, you will have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice.
As well as learning to program and think critically, you will be encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills, and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you.
