课程特征 Course Features：
Our portfolio of MSc programmes offers great flexibility combined with the chance to study the most advanced topics in Computer Science in a vibrant community of world-class researchers.
课程内容 Course Content ：
All MSc students enrolled in any of our four specialist degrees study a fairly common curriculum in the first four months (semester 1).
Semester 1 begins with a short module (CS5001) on Object-oriented Programming in Java. In the remainder of semester 1 you will choose three from Advanced Networks and Distributed Systems, Advanced Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Software Engineering, and Database Management Systems.
During the next four months (semester 2) students choose from a range of modules including Knowledge and Reasoning, Mobile and Multimedia Systems, Critical Systems Engineering, and Software Architecture. Access to certain specialised options in semester 2 may be dependent on good performance in a relevant first semester module. The exact programme of modules for each degree may be varied as part of the ongoing development of the courses.
During the final three months of the course, students undertake an extended individual project agreed with staff, resulting in writing a substantial dissertation. Students enrolled on the specialized degrees must undertake projects in their chosen areas of specialization.
More information:
The flexibility of this system means that all students can choose their specialism after first semester. Students who are performing well and take the appropriate options can choose at this time to focus on one of the specialized degrees: the MSc in Artificial Intelligence, the MSc in Networks and Distributed Systems and the MSc in Software Engineering, or they can continue the MSc in Advanced Computer Science. This flexibility means that a student who applied for an MSc in Software Engineering might choose to end up with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence instead.
