    Course Summary

    An MEng in Computer Science from the University of Portsmouth is a great way to turn an interest in computers and technology into a high paying, challenging career. This program is very similar to our 3 year BSc in Computer Science, but also grants access to Master’s level modules in your final year. This will allow you to build a deep specialisation in one of the areas of the discipline which interests you most, and will open up many career doors that a BSc course will not. It also opens the possibility of specialising in academic research.

    You’ll learn all about computer hardware and software systems, as well as becoming able to engineer the computing systems which will define tomorrow’s industries and entertainment. You’ll also be able to register as a CITP (Chartered IT Professional), giving you access to some of the best paying roles offered to new graduates in the industry.

    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.

    Year 1 Required Modules:

    • Application Usability and Security
    • Architecture and Operating Systems
    • Database design and development
    • Network fundamentals

    • Data structures and algorithms
    • Mathematical foundations of computer science
    • Operating systems and networks
    • Software engineering

    Placement Year (optional)

    Though optional, it is highly recommended that you take advantage of this opportunity to gain vital working experience. Placements have been arranged with well-known organisations like Airbus, IBM and Veritas, and are typically paid positions.

    Year 3 Required Modules:

    • Advanced Networks
    • Distributed Systems and Security
    • Fuzzy logic
    • Graphics and Animation
    • Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms
    • Theoretical computer science

    Learning & Teaching

    Each of the academic years is divided into three parts. The Autumn Teaching Block runs from September to December. The Spring Teaching Block runs from January to the Easter Holidays. Lastly, the Assessment Period begins at the end of the holidays and runs until June. You’ll experience a range of teaching methods, including lectures, smaller tutorials, practical laboratory sessions and a great deal of work on group and individual projects.

    Career Possiblities

    When you graduate you’ll have more than an MEng degree. You’ll have professional certification and the skills you’ll need to win a role in Computer Engineering, Network Design, Web Development, Computer Programming or a range of similar positions. Better still, the university’s Careers and Employability Service can help you improve your CV by helping you secure work experience, internships and volunteering opportunities, assuming you are eligible to work in the UK.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 4 year MEng or a 5 year MEng with work experience.

    Applicants must typically have achieved 3 A Levels, with at least 120 first year HE credits. Other qualifications may be accepted, however.  

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no section scoring less than 5.5. Other tests can also be accepted, at similar levels of achievement.
