Computer Science (including Professional Practice) MSc

... United Kingdom
... Aston University

Course Overview

Almost everything we do in our lives has been touched by software engineering, programming, or some form of computing. From the obvious, such as ordering products online to playing computer games, to the less obvious, like paying for your shopping at the supermarket or booking an appointment with the doctor, the supporting systems have all been built using computer science knowledge and skills. As a non-computing graduate on our Computer Science masters course, youll have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and experience you need to build an exciting career. The difference between this course and the MSc Computer Science course is that this one features a professional placement. Students are responsible for finding their own work placement, with the help of our award-winning Careers and Placements Team, who have helped so many of our students to secure placement and work opportunities. Aston is 3rd in the UK for the number of students taking a sandwich year (HESA 2018), showing just how much we encourage students to get professional experience and how successful we are at enabling them to secure work placements. Take a look at our specific placement information and support. Please find more about the timeframe under €˜Learning, teaching, and assessment.

General Eligibility

A Bachelors Degree in a non-Computing subject, with at least grade 2:2 (or equivalent) and GCSE Mathematics grade B or equivalent.
