Our four-year MComp in Computer Science elevates your skills to a professional level, preparing you for senior roles or PhD studies in the field. The initial three years mirror our Computer Science BSc curriculum, while the final year focuses on advanced topics like software engineering, algorithms, financial computing, and distributed systems. Do you love coding? Are you interested in client communication, software specification, design, development, and testing? Would you like to enhance your teamwork and independent work abilities while exploring the scientific and theoretical aspects of computer science? If you're passionate about coding principles, mathematical foundations, computational models, operating systems, networks, and professional development, Leicester's MComp in Computer Science is your ideal choice. Coding is exciting! Consider the devices you use daily—smartphones, laptops, tablets, self-parking cars with navigation, and even smart home controls—all powered by sophisticated programming. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies like Android, C, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Prolog, and R, using development environments such as Eclipse. At Leicester, you'll master programming in these languages and explore others through projects, covering mobile and web applications as well as innovative programming paradigms like functional and logic-based languages.
