This is a full-time programme of 29 months duration, but commences in January rather than September. The taught component is identical to MSc Advanced Computer Science (G493), after which you will spend a year working in industry. You will receive support in applying for suitable jobs in the software industry and will be required to write a report on your work experience. If you fail to secure an industrial placement or do not successfully complete it, you can revert to the standard course.
This course broadens your experience of the tools, methods and techniques used by professional software engineers, and focuses on the application of advanced software engineering, preparing you for responsible positions in the software industry. Whatever your own previous experience or future aspirations, with this course you will benefit from the marvellous integration of cutting-edge theory and practical application within a world-class department.
Recent MSc project topics include machine learning for the internet of things, augmented reality applications for tourism, analysis and management of agricultural emissions data, network intrusion detection and supply chain management.
