Beschreibung des Programms

The MSc Computer Science provides an intensive programme of study without any prior knowledge of computer science. As well as gaining a broad knowledge of the subject, students acquire practical skills and have the opportunity to investigate areas of current research more deeply.

The MSc Computer Science looks at issues important in our society including intellectual property, digital surveillance, data privacy and ethical issues in computing.

By studying this programme, students will:

  • be able to demonstrate knowledge and acquire digital skills in several areas including programming principles, the mathematic and algorithmic foundations of computing, information systems design, and database design and management.
  • gain a comprehensive and practical understanding of current techniques in cloud computing, network security, data management, software engineering, and machine learning.
  • gain the soft skills needed to be able to act autonomously in planning, implementing, and managing tasks at a professional level.
  • develop a systematic understanding and a critical awareness of computer science, much of it at the forefront of the discipline.

How you study

The MSc Computer Science is offered fully online and allows you the opportunity to flexibly fit your studies around your schedule. You can choose to study individual modules on a pay-as-you-go basis and build up your qualification at your own pace.

Online support

This computer science degree is delivered online and there is no requirement to come to the UK as part of your studies. Our flexible online programme allows you to work around your own schedule and leads to a globally-recognised qualification.

When you register, we will give you access to the Student Portal. You can then access your University of London email account and other key resources including:

Throughout our long history, the University has offered access to a wide range of academic opportunities. As a world leader in higher education, the University has pioneered change in the sector. We were the first university to admit students regardless of their gender, race or religion, the first to admit women to degree programmes and, in 1865, the first to give students the opportunity to study wherever they are, providing access to higher education across the globe. For almost 200 years, we have improved the lives of millions of people around the world through our unique approach to education, prompting Charles Dickens to term us the 'People's University'.

Study at the University of London

We are a federation of 17 independent member institutions of outstanding global reputation, ranging from larger universities such as UCL or King’s College London to smaller specialised institutions such as the Royal Academy of Music or the Courtauld Institute of Art.

There are also research institutes, united through the School of Advanced Study, offering postgraduate study and research in the humanities as well as the University of London Institute in Paris and our flexible and distance learning programmes.

Students of the member institutions are also University of London students, giving them access to our wide range of services in central London. The academic quality of your qualification is of the very highest standard, wherever you study.

Student Services

As well as providing world-class education, we also offer a range of other services including careers advice and access to Student Central and the prestigious Senate House Library.
