Course Description
Available at Parkgate Road Campus, Chester or Thornton Science Park
The importance of Computer Science in the 21st century cannot be overstated. As technology advances on all fronts, and becomes increasingly more complex, the need for computer science postgraduates becomes more urgent.
This course has been designed to give depth in the major Computer Science disciplines in both vocational and research sectors.
The Department of Computer Science, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, offers a rigorous approach to Computer Science, building on the foundation of degree-level study and increasing the depth and breadth of topics that are key to 21st century computing.
Each module is framed by both vocational reference (by inviting guest lectures from major organisations) and practical research.
We believe it is crucial that postgraduate students have the skills to research, plan, develop and instigate Computer Science projects as well as the technical skills to understand the complexities of key areas such as those listed below.
Entry Requirements
Students are normally required to have a 2:1 degree or above in a computer science related discipline. It is also required that any student wishing to enrol on this course must have gained at least 20 credits of programming modules at Level 5 or above.
