MSci Computer Science (Software Engineering) with a Year in Industry

5 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Royal Holloway University of London

Program Overview

Looking for an integrated masters course that will set you apart from other computer science undergraduates and set you on course for a high-level career? This five-year MSci course offers a thorough grounding in computer science and allows you to learn about all the latest trends and techniques in software engineering as well as gaining hands-on skills and experience during a year in industry. You will have the chance to showcase your abilities in an extended final year project and it is particularly recommended if you have already experienced and enjoyed programming and you want to go on to postgraduate study or a specialist career in software.

Our software engineering teaching has been hailed as a ‘best practice’ example of computer science education by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. You will learn from software professionals and leading academics in the field to apply engineering principles to the design, development, implementation and maintenance of all kinds of software. 

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

A key component of the program is the year-long industry placement, which provides students with invaluable real-world experience and enhances their employability. Royal Holloway's strategic location in the M4 corridor, known as 'England's Silicon Valley,' facilitates close links with leading technology companies, offering students a range of placement opportunities. If students are unable to secure a placement, there is an option to transfer to the equivalent four-year MSci course without the year in industry.

Progression & Future Opportunities

The department's software engineering teaching has been recognized as a 'best practice' example by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, reflecting its commitment to high-quality education. This recognition, combined with the practical experience gained during the industry placement, positions graduates favorably for future career opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of software engineering.
