About this course

Overview If you’re a graduate from a non-computing discipline and have a keen interest in digital technologies and computing, our dynamic Master’s in Computing is specifically designed to help you broaden your knowledge of Computing Science. This course is only available for a January start. No prior knowledge or experience in computing is required, as the course begins by teaching you the fundamentals of Python programming, web development and databases. You can then steer your learning, based on your own aspirations, towards more advanced specialised areas like cyber security and audio-visual processing.

On this programme, you’ll develop essential transferable skills in areas such as communication, critical thinking and reasoning, as well as problem solving, technical writing, independent and team working, and project management. You’ll learn about computing professionalism and ethics. You’ll also take part in an exciting group project over the summer, which will give you the chance to specialise in a specific topic of interest. The group project aims to build your skills in project management, group working and presentation skills, which will be essential for your future career.

Our campus is located in the beautiful and historic city of Norwich. You’ll enjoy an active research environment, work with modern facilities and equipment, and have access to the state-of-the-art library at UEA.

When you graduate, you’ll have professionally competitive skills in computing and be well-placed to pursue a career in this rewarding field. Over the years, our graduates have secured positions in prestigious companies like Microsoft, BT, Aviva, WorldPay, PwC, Morgan Stanley, and China Mobile, as well as in public sector organisations such as the Office for National Statistics and research institutes.
