Advanced Computer Science with a Year in Industry

Overview

The Advanced Computer Science with a Year in Industry programme from University of Liverpool is intended for graduates who already have a first degree in Computer Science or a closely related subject, and who wish to extend the knowledge gained in their undergraduate study with more advanced specialised material reflecting current research at the “cutting-edge” of the discipline. 

Accredited by the British Computer Society, The Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional.

The two-year MSc programme shares the same taught modules with its one-year equivalent. However, unlike the one-year MSc which includes an MSc project over the summer, the two-year programme includes an industrial project and placement in year two (either in  the UK or overseas). The placement is typically 30 weeks from September to June.

Career prospects

Here are some of the fields in which our MSc graduates are now working:-

• Network systems and data communications analysis
• Computer software engineering (both applications and systems software)
• Network and computer systems administration
