Course Description:
The MSc in Advanced Computer Science provides students with the broad knowledge and cutting-edge skills required for careers in which sophisticated computer systems are used to achieve difficult business goals. It also teaches students how to manage complex procedures and machinery, as well as conduct in-depth data analysis and presentation.
The need for and interest in computer science is being fueled by the growing profile of AI, global cyber security, social media safety, and tech's role in understanding and addressing some of society's largest concerns, like climate change and pandemic modeling. The training thus covers a broad variety of theoretical concepts and practical skills.
You will study eight modules over two semesters in the first part of the programme, and in the second part, you will have the option of completing a formal academic project supervised by academic staff or taking an industry placement. You will use the skills you learned throughout the taught modules in both options.
Objectives
> Gain advanced knowledge of the principles and concepts of internet technologies, software development, and intelligent systems.
> Develop the practical skills that are necessary for the design, build, deployment and evaluation of distributed information systems and complex, internet-enabled business applications.
> Learn many techniques, including manipulating large amounts of data, designing and building large applications, leveraging and provisioning cloud services, and developing autonomous systems.
> Gain the skills needed to become a technology consultant through the dedicated modules where you are taught and assessed through applying your learning to real-world problems.
