Course summary

Our broad and principled approach to computer science will give you a thorough grounding in theory as well as practical skills, helping you to solve real-world problems.

You will study systems at different levels of abstraction, including digital hardware architectures, low level programming, operating systems, intelligent systems, compilers and high level languages. You’ll learn to design user-centred systems, recognise the power of data, and build intelligent systems that learn from data.
On this integrated Masters you'll go further and study topics that really interest you to an advanced level, benefiting from access to research in the Department.
Our courses are designed with our Industrial Advisory Board, so you’ll be well placed to adapt to the workplace. This course is also available as a five year course with the same content but an additional year in industry. See MEng in Computer Science with a year in industry.
