Applied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence MSc

Overview

Computer science is the foundation of many exciting and cutting-edge topics, technologies and applications. This covers AI, Big Data, and Cybersecurity, which span almost every aspect of our lives; from smartphone app development, to the self-driving assistance that revolutionises the safety and efficiency of our transport systems.

Due to the pandemic, computer-related skills have become more and more important with the requirements of working remotely. Converting to Computer Science could develop your problem-solving and practical skills. You will also establish specialist knowledge on tools and techniques for creating intelligent algorithms and software.

On this conversion course, you will benefit from over 50 years of academic experience in computer science. You will also learn how to integrate a diverse set of skills from a variety of topics into real-world applications, through our industry-focused curriculum.

Combining computer science with subject knowledge from your first degree will make you a unique, highly employable graduate.

You will study topics such as:

programming
applied machine learning
big data strategy
access to Amazon’s AWS programme
machine learning
networks
intelligent systems

You will be challenged to combine and apply these topics on practical projects with career-launching outcomes. As an extension, the delivered computer science principle will also support social science-relevant topics including ethics, social enterprise or social justice.

Career prospects

The obtained skills can accelerate your career development as you are likely to use computers in all places of work. Once you have completed this course you could continue working in your current position with the addition of computer-related skills.

These skills are noted as important for lifelong learning. However, the conversion course also develops opportunities to convert your career. Using your new computer science skills, you could explore new positions as a milestone in your career path.

Throughout this course, we will demonstrate and offer guidance to illustrate how your skill development will enhance your employability.
