Advanced Computer Science
Year of Entry: 2007
Award: MSc
Summary: The overall aim of the programme is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and in-depth technical understanding of the key concepts required to design and build systems. In particular, graduates are equipped with the skills needed to understand, develop and apply current and future technologies. The programme produces graduates capable of working effectively in a professional software and systems development environment, at all stages of the product life-cycle. Graduates are likely to find employment in the broadcasting, telecommunications, consultancy, manufacturing and service sectors with many IT companies seeing networked systems as a principal route for future expansion.
The course is particularly suited to professional computer scientists wishing to gain a high level qualification to further their career. The full choice of modules for part-time students makes this course particularly suited to those with timetabling constraints or those whose choice of modules lies outside our specialist pathways. You are encouraged to choose a project dissertation topic relevant to at least one of your chosen modules as well as to your current employment.
Typical entry requirements: Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, at least a second class honours degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline or its equivalent from overseas universities. Applicants who do not meet these criteria but who have significant industrial experience will also be considered subject to individual circumstances. If you are unsure about your acceptability please feel free to email your transcripts to the admissions secretary for advice.
Funding: EPSRC scholarships are available for well qualified UK residents to cover fees and living expenses and for fees only for residents of other EU countries. THese are limited and are awarded on merit. All applicants should consult http://www.lancs.ac.uk/pgfunding/
