**Embark on a transformative journey with our innovative and comprehensive integrated masters in Computer Science.** If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start your main degree. Delve into the core concepts of computer science to develop your problem-solving skills, and learn how to apply your knowledge to engineer solutions that shape our digital world. In this ever-evolving field there are no shortage of subjects to explore, and you will have the chance to experiment with cutting-edge technologies to develop your skills. These include speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, and machine learning, to name a few. As well as learning to program and think critically, you will be encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills, and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you. Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the final year a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. These include topics such as software re-engineering, cybersecurity, and software for mobile devices. On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year long individual project guided by one of lecturers. **Accreditation** This MComp course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). It fully meets the requirements for Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and Chartered Engineer (CEng). **Why study this course?** * **Specialist teaching facilities** - Our lecturers are renowned computer scientists and internationally recognised researchers whose research shapes our cutting-edge teaching. You'll have access to the latest software and equipment, including high-spec computers with graphics processing units, as well as a robotics arena in our dedicated labs. * **Combining theory with practice (Applies to our MComp course only)** - In your final year, you'll be able to specialise and get the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. You'll also have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice. * **Professional skills and group work** - Professional, communication and presentation skills help to create more employable computer scientists and software engineers. These are extremely valuable to companies, making you a well-rounded and highly prized candidate. * **Flexible study options** - It's possible to transfer between our courses. This provides an opportunity to understand which areas of computer science spark your interest and add flexibility to your education. * **Support throughout your degree** - Our dedicated student welfare advisor is available to provide support, for example, if you are feeling down, overwhelmed or struggling to adjust to student life.
