    Course Summary

    De Montfort University’s MSc in Computing is a great way to establish yourself as an expert in a field which is growing by leaps and bounds, in a dozen different industries in the UK and abroad. In fact, the demand for highly skilled computer science graduates at the Master’s level so far outstrips local demand that your career is all but assured.

    You’ll learn to design and analyse different computer systems, to create and manage databases as well as to understand the many different kinds of networks and individual computer systems in commercial and industrial use today.  You’ll be able to meet the industry’s demands for advanced coding techniques, including object oriented programming.

    Better still, you do not need to have either a degree or working experience in coding, computer science or IT to joint his program. You will need to show some aptitude for logical analysis, but this program is primarily designed for specialists in other fields.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
