Core Modules
Fundamentals of Software Engineering (15 Credits)
The aim of this module is to enable students to gain knowledge and skills in software engineering, with particular focus on the different stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and how the use of CASE tools to support software development.
Principles of Machine Learning (15 Credits)
This module aims to enable students to define by examples a wide variety of machine learning tasks such as Supervised learning (Classification and Regression), Reinforcement learning, and Unsupervised learning (Clustering and dimensionality reduction). Tasks will vary from traditional algorithms to neural algorithms on various domains of applications, such as computer vision and natural language processing.
Principles of AI Programming (15 Credits)
The aim of this module is to enable students to develop an understanding of the underlying principles of Artificial Intelligence programming (AI) by means of an introduction to a broad range of approaches commonly used in modern AI systems. By the end of this module students should be able to implement an AI based approach to perform a particular task.
Data Structure and Algorithms 2 (15 Credits)
This module enables students to extend their knowledge and understanding of data structures and algorithms. It focuses on the coding stage of the programming process, studying and developing algorithms and data structures appropriate for a range of different types of practical programming problems. The module emphasises throughout the role of problems as an essential driver in the programming process and the design of algorithms and data structures in particular.
Programming and Program Design (15 Credits)
The aims of this module are to enable students to understand and apply the concepts underlying procedural programming. Develop a deep and systematic understanding of the object-oriented paradigm and some of its characteristics. Develop practical ability in deploying software with the API of a modern object-oriented language.
Information System Design (15 Credits)
The aims of this module are to enable students to explore contemporary issues in, and technologies for, software development. Develop expertise in tools and techniques appropriate for the development of software.
Data Structure and Algorithms 1 (15 Credits)
This module aims to enable students to develop a deep and systematic understanding of the importance of the relationship between problems, and their solutions through the development and use of algorithms, data structures and their implementation. Additionally, this module aims to enable students to develop a deep understanding of the significance of a range of underlying mathematical concepts.
Responsible Technology 1 (15 Credits)
The aims of this module are to enable students to articulate social, ethical and legal issues and commercial risks together with the opportunities inherent in the use of computing technologies and the deployment of computer-based systems.
Final Research Project
Computer Science Masters Project (60 Credits)
This module is designed to enable students to select and apply computer science techniques to practically investigate a particular problem. Furthermore, they will critically evaluate their own work. This module also aims to enable students to demonstrate that they can work independently with minimum supervision, efficiently plan their work, and present the results in both written and oral form. Students will also extend their knowledge by making effective use of the technical and scientific literature, and other relevant materials.
