About the Course

Designed for graduates of the highest calibre the MSc will develop advanced knowledge and skills and give students the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice through valuable work experience during a one year industrial placement.

The MSc in Advanced Computer Science is intended for graduates who already have a first degree in Computer Science or a closely related subject, and who wish to extend the knowledge gained in their undergraduate study with more advanced specialised material reflecting current research at the “cutting-edge” of the discipline. 

The two-year MSc programme shares the same taught modules with its one-year equivalent. The placement is typically 30 weeks from September to June. This opportunity to work in industry will help you strengthen your career options by:

• Undertaking the project work in an industrial setting
• Applying theory learnt in the classroom to real-world practice
• Developing communications and interpersonal skills 
• Building networks and knowledge which will be invaluable throughout your career.

During the placement year students will spend time working in a relevant company suitable for the MSc. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience which will boost their CV, build networks and develop confidence in a working environment. Many placement students continue their relationship with the placement provider by undertaking relevant projects and may ultimately return to work for the company when they graduate.

The University has very good links with industry and several companies work with them to offer their MSc students competitive placements. Although industry placements are not guaranteed, the University offers them opportunities and support throughout the process to ensure that the chance to find a placement is high.

If students are unable to secure a suitable placement by the end of April during year one, they will be transferred onto the one-year MSc to undertake the MSc project over the summer and graduate after one year.
