Computer science supports the build, development and use of computer systems. Systems development is of crucial importance in many areas of modern life. As new technologies continue to emerge, there's a growing worldwide need for skilled, expert computer science professionals. Our MSc in Advanced Computer Science (January start) has a small number of compulsory modules, supplemented by a wide variety of optional modules. You can choose from this range of optional modules to tailor your own programme of advanced study to meet your academic interests and career aspirations, whether your interests relate to software engineering, or to data science.
