Course content

From day one, you’ll be immersed in the expertise of our world-leading research team who work at the cutting edge of computing science.

You’ll study key core subjects including our flagship module Advanced Programming. This will cover historical, established and upcoming programming languages, compilers and interpreters, functional languages, assembly and intermediate languages, code optimisation, high performance computing and software testing. The assessment of this module is based on a project that requires you to develop a compiler or interpreter in a general purpose language (GPL) of your choice, and a course test that includes a programming element and tests your knowledge of the curriculum.

We also have specialist MSc lab with humanoid robots, haptic feedback devices, optical motion capture and highres video cameras and mainstream Virtual Reality (VR) hardware.

Thanks to our strong ties with the IT and computing industries, we're able to shape our course content and coursework projects based on current trends and real-world problems. This ensures that your experience is aligned with the industries that you may well be moving into after your course.
