COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Computer Science for non-computer science graduates offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to provide a strong foundation in key areas of computing while developing practical and analytical skills. Core modules such as Operating Systems and Networks, Computer Architectures, and Programming and Program Design introduce essential concepts, ensuring students gain a solid understanding of the structure, operation, and design of computer systems. The Software Development Exercise and Multi-User Database Systems modules focus on practical applications, allowing students to develop programming, problem-solving, and database management skills in real-world contexts. The Computer Science Masters Project is a substantial component of the program, giving students the opportunity to undertake an independent research or applied project that integrates knowledge from multiple modules, demonstrating technical proficiency, critical thinking, and creativity. Responsible Technology ensures that students understand the ethical, societal, and environmental implications of computing, fostering responsible and informed practice. Through a combination of theoretical learning, hands-on exercises, and independent research, the program equips students with the expertise required for careers in software development, systems management, IT consultancy, or the deployment of advanced computational applications across various disciplines. This holistic approach prepares graduates to contribute effectively in both industry and research contexts.
