    Liverpool Hope University

    Liverpool Hope University was founded as The Church of England’s Warrington Training College in 1844, quickly joined by The Sisters of Notre Dame’s Our Lady’s Training College in 1856. In 1964 Christ’s College was opened as well and the three joined together as an Ecumenical Federation in 1980. This was known as the Liverpool institute […]

    Course Summary

    Computer science graduates are in higher demand than ever before, which also places a high premium on graduates with higher level CS degrees. The Advanced Computer Science MSc program that Liverpool Hope University offers is intended to improve your employability in a wide range of different sectors and industries, and to prepare you to take up a leadership or management role supervising other engineers in the field or at the workplace.

    As you progress through this one year program you’ll dramatically enhance your skills in regards to Applied Computer Science, Coding and Programming, Data Analytics and Numerical Methods as well as research and the theoretical side of Computer Science. You’ll also have access to advanced elective modules which will allow you to build a unique (and uniquely marketable) specialty for yourself. This should be selected with your own interests in mind, but also with an eye towards your intended career path.

    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.

    Course Outline

    This is a single year program, delivered over three semesters.

    Taught modules will be delivered in the first two semesters, each amounting to 60 credits. After a student has successfully completed the full 120 credits worth of taught modules they will begin work on a substantial Final Project and Dissertation.

    Taught modules typically include:

    • Advances in Computer Science
    • Applied Computer Science
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Cyber Security
    • Data Analytics
    • Data Communications
    • High Performance Computing
    • Numerical Methods
    • Programming
    • The Internet of Things
    • Theoretical Computer Science
    • Visualisation, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

    The dissertation you deliver will be a true test of your research, experimental and technical writing skills. It will be worth a full 60 credits, and should represent a meaningful investigation into the area of Computer Science in which you will specialise. The topic can be selected form a pool of options presented by academic staff or can be developed with the approval of the PG Coordinator.

    Learning & Teaching

    The modules you will take have all been developed by key researchers in their fields. 100% of the university’s CS research was rated as either Internationally Excellent or World Leading by the most recent Research Excellence Framework, something few schools can claim. In addition, students will be taught in state of the art facilities including the new Robotics Laboratory and with the aid of a range of cutting edge hardware and software systems.

    Career Possiblities

    Computer Science graduates are eagerly snapped up my many different industries in the UK, but those with Master’s level skills are in even higher demand by the IT, Computer Engineering and Software Development industries.

    Many graduates take their first roles in these IT-oriented industries, often fast tracked for management positions. Many others go into related work as Science or Engineering Consultants. Still others remain in academia, seeking their PhD or another research degree.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 1 year MSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have achieved a 2:1 honours degree or better in a Computer Science or Engineering-based subject. International qualifications are also accepted, and can be found here.

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated by an IELTS score of 6.5 or better overall and 6.0 or better in Reading and Writing.
