Computer Science, MSci (Hons)

Computer science encompasses problem-solving, creativity, and exploration of exciting fields like user experience design, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning through a range of optional modules. In the second year, students engage in a collaborative group project, often with industry partners such as Capital One and IBM, to develop future computer systems, enhancing CVs and professional networks. The fourth year offers master's-level modules, allowing full choice in specialising areas like programming or STEM ambassadorship, culminating in a substantial research dissertation. Taught by inspiring tutors from the Computerphile series at Nottingham, this course provides flexibility, no prior programming experience required, opportunities for study abroad, and strong graduate outcomes, including an average salary of £32,104 and accreditation by the British Computer Society. Modules build from foundational programming in C, Java, and Haskell in the first year, to core topics in software engineering and algorithms in the second, and advanced options in machine learning and robotics in later years.
