The MSC Computer science, is a course that
aims to produce IT professionals with advanced
skills in the development and management of
sophisticated Information systems. It is why
they acknowledge, nowadays, that there is
a massive shortage of people who are highly
trained in IT, and who have got the skills
and knowledge to address a lot of the challenges
that business, Government and Commerce are facing nowadays.
Including big data, cloud computing and web
systems.
So the course will prepare the students in
all those areas that they would be looking
at how to develop advanced web systems. Looking
at how to develop in the cloud and looking
at cloud services. You will also look at analysing
big data through big data analytics and visualisation.
But also they will look at more modern trends
in computer science including security. So
they would be exposed to database security
and systems security.
We are looking for computing graduates to
come in to this course. Or people who have
a degree with significant content in computing.
We also would like people who have significant
relevant experience in IT also to come forward
even if they don’t have the required honours
degree.
At the end of this programme the students
would have acquired to knowledge and skills
that would prepare them to take roles such
as IT consultancy, such as web system development,
software engineering, software architects.
So there is a whole range of IT positions
and roles that is available through this course.
A unique selling point also for the MSC Computer
Science is the fact that students will have
the opportunity to go on a one year industrial
placement after the 2 first semesters of taught
modules. We are based in Aberdeen, Europe’s
Energy Capital, with lots of businesses that
service the energy sector. Who have invested
massively in IT infrastructure and services.
