Computer Science (MSc by Research) matches up students with experts in one of six research disciplines for one year of intensive supervised training. The course is aimed at recent graduates who have achieved a good first degree and are looking for the opportunity to do in-depth research in a chosen topic under the guidance of an expert in the area. This course will also be of interest to people wishing to acquire research skills after a period of employment.

Our graduates are among the most employable in the UK - we rank third in the UK for graduate employability - and, in recent years, have entered many different Computer Science-related roles including network systems design and engineering, web development and production. Our graduates have found employment at a wide range of organisations including Logica, British Telecom, British Aerospace, Microsoft, Amazon.com, American Express, Sky and Orbis Technology. At the same time, this course also equips you with a solid foundation for further postgraduate studies at PhD level.
