The aim of this MSc is to provide students coming from any discipline (other than Computer Science) with a wide understanding of Computer Science. The programme is sufficiently general to give you an excellent background for a professional career in industrial or commercial organisations, and the required background in computer science to enable you to undertake further study leading to the specialisations needed for a research career.
This MSc is a conversion programme meant for people with little or no previous academic computing experience and is designed around students coming from a wide range of academic backgrounds.
