Our four-year Computer Science MComp degree will raise your expertise to a point where you could start a career at a senior level or study for a PhD in computer science. The first three years are the same as those of the Computer Science BSc. In the final year you will take modules in areas such as advanced software engineering, advanced algorithms, financial computing and distributed systems.
Do you enjoy programming? Do you want to know how to talk to customers and clients, and be able to specify, design, build and test the software they need? How to work by yourself and also in teams? And do you want to know more about the scientific and theoretical foundations of the subject? If you want to do all these things, and also learn about the principles of coding, underpinning mathematics, mathematical models of computation, operating systems and networks, and professional skills, Leicester’s Computer Science MComp programme is for you.
The program offers opportunities for students to engage in comprehensive projects, allowing them to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. Additionally, students can opt for a Year in Industry, gaining valuable professional experience that enhances their employability.
The MComp degree prepares students for senior-level positions in the tech industry or further academic pursuits, such as a PhD in Computer Science. The curriculum emphasizes both theoretical and applied aspects of computer science, ensuring graduates are well-equipped for the evolving tech landscape.
Graduates from the Department of Informatics have gone on to many different careers, whether working for large companies, such as Accenture, BAE systems, Bloomberg and LogicaCMG, or for small, innovative start-ups. You may go on to apply your knowledge directly as a software engineer or systems analyst – or you may apply your IT skills and problem-solving abilities in a related field such as finance, marketing or general business.
