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 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. 

Computer science graduates are among the highest-earners globally: there is a huge demand from industry for computer programmers, data scientists, artificial intelligence researchers, systems analysts, software engineers, technical consultants and web developers. In 2016, six out of the 10 best performing global companies had a focus on information technology.
