Computer Science

Computer Science is a broad area which includes designing and building hardware and software systems for a wide range of purposes and processing, structuring and managing various kinds of information. Covering all aspects of computer science, including the underlying principles and theory, this programme will ensure that when you graduate you will know what is and isn’t possible with computers and be able to find solutions to the problems you will encounter in your professional life. Studying Computer Science MEng (G401), you will not only develop a good ‘all-round’ understanding of the academic discipline of Computer Science, you will also go on to develop a much deeper and systematic specialisation in topics at the forefront of current research. This integrated master’s programme offers the same specialism pathways as G400.

You can choose to maintain a mixture of modules throughout your degree or follow a specialist’s pathway in Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms and Optimisation or Data Science.

This MEng programme is accredited by:

BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional.
