More information
The MSc in Computing (Specialism) is a taught postgraduate course aimed at students with a good academic degree who may not have studied computing exclusively but who have studied a considerable amount of computing already.
Applicants who want to become a specialist in a particular area of computing and who want to take a first crucial training step towards that goal are the natural target for this course. The expectation of graduates is that this course enables them to have rewarding careers as specialist in an area of Computing.
Each specialism has a flexible mix of breadth and depth, consisting of compulsory modules, selective specialised modules as well as choices from a wider selection of topics.
This course is also a suitable preparation for PhD studies.
Applications for entry in October 2025 are now open, and will close no later than July 31, 2025. However, we do reserve the right to close applications sooner.
All applicants for this course must have taken computing courses that equate to two years of a computer science undergraduate programme.
