Master of Science (Hons) in Computer Science

Program Overview

Our comprehensive Computer Science MSci degree programme enables you to gain a systematic grounding in the theoretical underpinning of the discipline whilst also allowing you to delve into specialist areas of your interest.

At the University of Birmingham we recognise that today’s computer scientists are in high demand and have a range of expertise. We also know that at this point in time it is essential that the course you choose meets your future career aspirations. That’s why our MSci Computer Science degree offers a balance of general computer science with practical software engineering and the opportunity to tailor your degree to a more specialised level to suit your interests so that you leave us prepared for a career in industry or research.
The transition to University level learning can be difficult and that is why in your first year and second year we ensure you study the key components of computer science to make sure you have a solid understanding of the subject.

We are committed to ensuring you develop key skills needed to boost your future prospects. That’s why in your second year you will be taught professional software engineering techniques and work in a team on a large project to produce software. You will also learn new styles of programming in Java, a language widely used in business and industry, and the C programming language.

Your third year enables you to tailor your degree to suit your interests and strengths with a wide range of modules to choose from. A proportion of your time will be dedicated to a project which will allow you to demonstrate your computing skills. In your fourth you will be able to choose modules which allow you to specialise further in your chosen area of interest. You will also undertake a much more in-depth project which will develop your ability to work independently on an advanced problem-solving task.
