Overview

This Computer Science or Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) MSc programme from the University of Nottingham core modules will develop your knowledge in key topics such as programming, databases, and networks. Optional modules give you the flexibility to broaden your knowledge in specialist areas, including machine learning, autonomous robotics, and human-AI interaction. 

You will undertake an individual research project in an area of your choice. All projects are supervised by an expert researcher in the area, and many involve collaborations across the University or with industry partners. Previous projects have included:

• Benchmarking consumer data and privacy knowledge in connected and autonomous vehicles
• How time, peer pressure, cognitive load, and emotional attachment influences affect people’s decisions of moral dilemmas within virtual environments
• Predicting keystrokes using an audio side-channel attack and machine learning

If you choose to focus your study and research in the field of AI, you can graduate with a degree titled ‘MSc Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)’.

Career opportunities:

This course prepares you for careers in advanced software development, particularly where reliability and efficiency are vital requirements. Graduates are likely to assume leading roles in major software-development projects in one of the areas of specialisation.

This course also provides an excellent foundation for further study and you may decide to progress to a PhD in order to continue your research.
