理学硕士高级计算机科学计划旨在从可靠的数学和科学基础发展使用工具和技术来生产计算机系统解决方案的能力，同时赞赏行业所需要的专业责任和质量。本课程旨在涵盖计算机科学中的许多高级计算主题，即本体工程，面向服务的设计，以用户为中心的设计，数据工程和移动应用程序开发。此外，在进行单个项目之前，您将在研究方法和项目管理上有扎实的基础，该项目可以为展示技术和一般就业技能，为职业发展做准备。更具体地说，单个项目模拟典型的研究生工作场所任务，这些任务需要在计算机科学特定领域中具有深入的知识和技能。这将包括考虑更广泛的问题
The MSc Advanced Computer Science programme intends to develop your competence in using tools and techniques for producing computer systems solutions, from a sound mathematical and scientific base while appreciating the professional responsibilities and quality needed by industry.<br>The course is designed to cover a number of advanced computing topics in computer science, namely, ontological engineering, service-oriented design, database design, data engineering, and mobile-application development. In addition, you will receive a solid grounding in research methods and project management before undertaking an individual project that provides an opportunity to demonstrate technical and general employability skills in preparation for career progression. More specifically, the individual project simulates typical graduate workplace tasks that require in-depth knowledge and skills in a specific area of computer science. This will include consideration of wider issues and the ability to manage activities and resources, as well as generate, implement and report on solutions to meet task objectives.<br><br>Enhancing your employability skills<br><br>We know that employers are looking for graduates who have a good balance between in-depth academic knowledge and technical and practical expertise, which is why our course is geared towards employability.<br><br>What you learn on our course will help you to stand out when you look for your first professional role. Because you will know how to use sophisticated, industry-standard software, you will be able to demonstrate that you can put into practice your deep theoretical knowledge.<br><br>We will also prepare you for a career by equipping you with a range of transferable skills, such as complex problem-solving expertise, the ability to analyse in a careful and considered manner, and working as a team member. We aim to have you employer-ready by the time you graduate and, as part of your Advanced Computer Science course, we will invite guest speakers to underpin the subjects taught.<br><br>Thanks to our excellent partnerships and working relationships with some of the UK's leading companies, you have the chance to network with leading organisations such as IBM, Dignity plc, Mortgage Brain and Griffiths Waite. In addition, our specialist industry links with the Linux Professional Institute, the Oracle Academy, Cisco, and Microsoft, plus our world-class facilities, will mark you out as a highly employable graduate.<br><br>This is why our graduates have gone on to pursue computing and software development and designer careers in a wide range of industries, from SME software companies, to industry, government, banking and healthcare. Furthermore, many graduates continue their studies to Doctorate level.
