MSc Computing Science

University of East Anglia UEA

If you’re a graduate of any non-computing discipline and interested in digital technologies and computing, our Master's in Computing Science is particularly designed for you to broaden your existing knowledge of computing science.

This course does not require any prior knowledge or experience of computing as it’ll start by teaching you the fundamentals of application programming, web development and databases. It then steers your learning, based on your own aspirations, towards more advanced specialised areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, secure software development, data mining, computer vision, and modern embedded technology.

In addition, you’ll be trained to develop your generic and transferable skills in the areas of such as communication, critical thinking and reasoning, problem solving, technical writing, independent and team working and project management. You’ll also learn about computing professionalism and ethics. You’ll do a dissertation project, which will give you the chance to specialise in a specific topic of your interest and work closely with our world-leading academics.

Located in the beautiful and historic city of Norwich, you’ll enjoy an active research environment, work with modern facilities and equipment, and research at the state-of-the-art library at UEA.

When you graduate, you’ll be professionally competitive and highly flexible. You’ll be in a great position to take a career in a challenging and changing employment environment. Over the years, our graduates have found employment in companies like Microsoft, BT, Aviva, WorldPay, PwC, Morgan Stanley, and China Mobile, and in public sector organisations like the Office for National Statistics or research institutes.
