About

This MSc Computer Science provides advanced knowledge of designing, building and testing a wide range of software and network systems. The course explores the networking, software development technologies and architectures involved in modern computer systems and networks.

Graduates of this computer science master's degree will be well-placed for a range of advanced roles in computing, with particular emphasis on network systems development and management.

Open to UK applications for September 2022. This course is now closed to new International applications for September 2022. International applicants can apply for January 2023.

This degree will provide you with the skills to critically analyse and evaluate network systems.

You will learn the principles, applications, and the scope of current and future complex networks.

You will critically evaluate existing technology options, future developments, protocols, architecture and tools.

The University of Greenwich is an academic partner with The Council for Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST).

The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits our computing degree programmes. As this programme was extensively updated in 2019, it has a current designation of Initial Partial Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and Partial Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation for the 2019 intake. The accreditation status is expected to be confirmed in spring 2022 after the first cohort of students graduate. Students will be kept updated on the status of this. In the very unlikely event that this does not progress as expected the university will support students with individual BCS membership applications at the point of graduation.
