About the course

If you are a graduate from any non-computing discipline and interested in digital technologies and computing, our MSc Computing Science is particularly designed for you to broaden your existing knowledge to computing science.

　　This course does not require any prior knowledge or experience of computing as it will start by teaching you the fundamentals of application programming, web development and databases. It then steers your learning, based on your own aspirations, towards more advanced specialised areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, secure software development, data mining, computer vision, and modern embedded technology.

　　As this course is designed for graduates of non-computing subjects, you will start it by learning some foundational knowledge and essential skills in computing science intensively and then move on to learn some advanced or specialised knowledge.

　　In addition, you’ll be trained to develop your generic and transferable skills in the areas of such as communication, critical thinking and reasoning, problem solving, technical writing, independent and team working and project management. You will also learn about computing professionalism and ethics. You will take three fundamental modules: Applications Programming, Databases Manipulation, and Web Development. These will teach you essential knowledge and skills in three main and important areas in computing. These modules lay solid foundations that you can build on with more advanced and/or specialised optional modules, such as Applied Statistics, Data Mining, Developing Secure Software, System Engineering Issues, Computer Vision, Information Visualisation, Modern Embedded Technologies, and Ubiquitous Computing. If you are not sure what modules to choose, your adviser can help you. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
