Hi I'm Ammar Belatreche and I'm the Programme
Leader for the MSc Advanced Computer Science.
There is a lot to Computer Science then what
you had covered in your undergraduate course,
and this programme is designed for graduates
who have already completed a computing degree,
but also for those who have industrial experience
in computing and want to further develop their
knowledge and skills. This programme will
provide you with advanced and specialist knowledge
and cutting-edge skills in computer science.
Throughout the course you will complete 6
modules, which cover a variety of advanced
topics such as artificial intelligence, big
data, cloud computing and network security.
There is an option for a one semester of advanced
practice study where you can either study
abroad, do a work placement or a research
internship. You will be taught in our £7
million brand new purpose built computing
facility at the heart of our Newcastle City
Centre campus, where you will have access
to industry standard equipment and technology.
In your final semester you will undertake
a significant individual project where you
will conduct a substantial piece of research
and practical development work into a topic
at the forefront of computer science. In terms
of employability, this course can give you
that extra edge needed in today's competitive
market. Graduates from this course will be
equip to undertake more senior roles in the
IT industry, or to engage with cutting-edge
research and development, or to progress to
academic or research orientated type of careers.
