Description:

This MSc conversion programme is for students from a variety of academic backgrounds who have little or no previous academic computing experience. We would, however, strongly encourage prospective students to try a basic online course in programming (in any language) before applying so that they can confirm they have both the appetite and aptitude for this discipline.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

    You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in any subject that is not related to computer science.

     Applicants with a degree in Computer Science or a related subject (including Computer Engineering, Intelligent Science and Technology or Software Engineering) are unsuitable for this conversion programme and cannot be considered.

     You will also need to demonstrate suitable mathematical skills, either with one unit of mathematics in your bachelor's degree or at least a Grade B/Grade 6 or above in GCSE Maths (or international equivalent).

     If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date.

     We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.

     We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

     If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have a relevant postgraduate qualification. If you have one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing:

     * A relevant postgraduate qualification.

     See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.

     Admissions Statement Read the programme admissions statement for important information on entry requirements, the application process and supporting documents required.
