COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Computer Science program is built around core modules that equip students from non-computing backgrounds with the essential knowledge and practical skills required for careers in the technology sector. Programming for Scientists introduces foundational coding principles and problem-solving techniques, while Modelling, Managing and Securing Data provides an understanding of data structures, databases and cybersecurity concepts. Advanced Data Analytics develops the ability to work with large datasets and apply analytical methods, and Fundamentals of Intelligent Systems explores areas such as machine learning, automation and decision-making algorithms. The Agile Software Development Project gives students hands-on experience working in teams using industry-standard agile methodologies to design and develop software solutions. Research Topics in Computing exposes learners to current developments and emerging themes in the discipline, helping them understand the broader context of modern computing. The MSc Project serves as a major independent research or development task where students apply the skills and knowledge gained throughout the course to create a substantial piece of work. Together, these core modules provide a comprehensive introduction to programming, data, intelligent systems, software engineering and research practice, ensuring graduates are well prepared for roles in software development, data analysis, IT services and further study.
