Advanced Computer Science MSc, PGDip, PGCert

Course description

This MSc is designed for students who wish to supplement their education in a specific set of advanced topics and cutting-edge technologies that they require for their professional lives, or to pursue their studies further to a PhD on a specific topic. It offers a broad menu of modules from which you can construct your own pathway with the advice and assistance of a member of staff.

What's the difference?

The PGDip includes the same modules as the MSc but without the final project.

Duration

The degree takes 12 months starting in September. The 'With Industry' degree takes 24 months starting in September. 

If you hold a relevant Bachelors degree from a recognised Jordanian university (usually with a grade of 'very good’ jayyid jiddan) you will be considered for postgraduate study. A GPA score of 3.0 out of 4.00, or 80% and above, is usually required.

Every degree page on our website specifies an IELTS score as the minimum English Language requirement for that course. If you have taken a different English language test or qualification, this table shows the equivalent scores or marks you need to match the IELTS grade for your course.

All our postgraduate Informatics degrees are available 'with industry': stimulating your creativity and capacity to innovate, and ensuring that you acquire key transferable skills. These courses will allow you to develop into a highly skilled professional, well versed in advanced methods and tools. Colleagues from industry participate directly in the delivery of some of the modules, including hands-on tutorials that allow you to use some of the tools and methodologies that are shaping the software development landscape.

We have an open approach to collaboration with industry. We undertake joint projects, provide consultancy services, and organise events to connect you with potential employers. We also run an Industrial Advisory Board: its members are computer scientists who hold successful careers in industry and who help us ensure that your training is industrially relevant.
