The MSc Computer Science (Online) offers a flexible, six-term programme designed to build your expertise from foundational programming to advanced specialisations. In the early modules, you’ll develop core skills in Python, algorithms, computer architecture and data science, establishing a strong technical foundation.
As you progress, the curriculum expands into cutting-edge areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, cybersecurity and social network analysis. Each module combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on projects, enabling you to apply your learning to real-world challenges. Research-led teaching ensures you stay at the forefront of developments in computer science, while collaborative assignments connect you with a diverse, global peer community.
Throughout the programme, you’ll receive personalised academic and technical support, helping you consolidate your skills and prepare for professional roles. By the final term, you’ll complete research-focused projects that integrate your learning and demonstrate your readiness for careers in software development, data science, AI and cybersecurity.
