Course content

Computer science supports the build, development and use of computer systems.

There is a growing need across the world for skilled, advanced computer science professionals. This course helps you develop the skills necessary to design and deploy sophisticated modern software systems in a range of application areas.

You’ll improve your practical software engineering skills and learn new theories of software development. This course gives you the necessary qualifications to get a skilled position in the computing industry.

On our Advanced Computer Science with Software Engineering Masters, you’ll study two 11-week semesters, each with three or four modules.

Each module typically has:

• four hours of lectures
• laboratory practicals and/or tutorials

Additional study time is required to enhance and apply your understanding of the topics covered, through further reading, self-directed study and assignments.

In the summer, between June and August, you’ll undertake an in-depth three-month research project.

A range of software systems are used to build reliable, scalable and quality solutions, and you will apply rigorous methodologies through experimental design and exploratory modelling. For example you will:

• look at AI-based approaches in detail and examine how they have been applied to a range of software engineering problems
• become familiar with a number of different cloud NoSQL systems and with the Map-Reduce programming paradigm
• demonstrate the ability to implement selections from a range of the software typically used in mobile environments
