This integrated Master's degree provides a comprehensive foundation in computer science theory and practical skills, preparing you to solve real-world problems. You will explore systems at various levels, from digital hardware to intelligent systems, and learn to design user-centred systems, leverage data, and build intelligent applications. The program includes a dedicated year in industry, offering valuable professional experience and networking opportunities. The curriculum is developed with input from an Industrial Advisory Board, ensuring its relevance to current industry demands. This course is also available without the industrial placement year.
Curriculum
The course covers core computer science topics aligned with ACM curriculum guidelines, structured into eight streams: Theory, Software, Systems and Devices, Data, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Intelligent Systems, Engineering, and Cyber Security. The curriculum progresses from foundational knowledge in the early years to advanced specialisation and a significant independent project in the later years.
