Master of Science [M.Sc] [Advanced Computer Science] From Keele University

You will be prepared for a career in roles that leverage advanced computer systems to solve difficult business goals, control complex processes and equipment, and undertake deep and detailed data analysis, management, and presentation. Together with skills gained in systems analysis, software development, consultancy and research, you will leave Keele with the confidence to perform at the highest level in a variety of technical, managerial and strategic positions.

The MSc Advanced Computer Science course prepares students to work in roles that require the use of data management, analysis and presentation tools, the development of software to deliver services or to control complex processes and equipment, or to provide system analysis and development consultancy to a varied range of clients.

The course does not require background in programming or data analysis and for those with no such background appropriate training is offered to catch up with others who already have such training or experience. The course aims to match the needs of business that compete globally in a world driven by advances in information technology. The programme aims to develop both technical and people skills making our graduates ready for jobs that offer high satisfaction and regular challenge at the same time.

The first semester of the course is organised into modules delivered intensively over three week periods. The second semester is organised using usual semester-long modules with the difference that all these modules are assessed by coursework only. The summer semester is dedicated to a MasterÕs level research or development project.
