    Course Summary

    Queen Mary University’s MSci in Computer Science is fully accredited by BCS, which is the Chartered Institute for Computer Science. This course is essentially the same as the BSc in Computer Science Queen Mary offers, save that there is an additional team project in year 3 and you have the option of studying abroad for an additional year.

    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.
