Become a computer scientist in just one year through this conversion programme that will enhance your career prospects in a growing and innovative field. The Computer Science MSc teaches everything from programming to application engineering, while providing opportunities to create solutions for industrial or research clients. Taught at UCL, world renowned for computer science research, this is an exceptional place to build your foundations as a computer scientist. Computer science permeates almost every sector and industry today. Equipping yourself with the sought-after skills required to be a developer, software engineer, or related role places you in an exceptional position to thrive in the world of computing. This programme is equally ideal for those who want to complement their existing scientific knowledge with computer science skills, or for those from different disciplines who want to switch career paths to work in this field. On this programme, you will learn from renowned academics in computer science. The curriculum is based on the latest trends and is constantly updated due to the fast-paced developments in innovation and technology. You will learn programming, app engineering, computer architecture, and algorithmics. You can also choose from optional modules that range from interaction design to machine learning. You will also undertake a substantial project, either working with a company to help solve a real-world problem, or with a research group at UCL Computer Science if you are interested in further research or academia. On this course, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to adapt in the dynamic world of computing. You'll learn in the heart of London in an inclusive environment alongside like-minded people from across the world. The programme is ideal if you have a solid understanding of mathematics and want to blend your existing knowledge with computer science skills. Alternatively, you may want to move from another discipline towards a career in computer science. The programme is not suitable for those with a first degree in computer science or equivalent. It is a conversion programme and, therefore, meant for graduates in non-computer science subjects wishing to develop a background in computer science.
