Overview
A particular focus of the programme is on Computational Game Theory, an area of on the intersection of computer science and economics which has seen a recent rapid growth and in which there is expected to be a significant skills shortage.
The programme also provides a solid foundation for you if you are aiming at a research degree in Theoretical Computer Science . It will provide a strong background and exposition to research topics in the area.
The Theoretical Computer Science programme from University of Liverpool is organised as two taught semesters followed by an individual project undertaken over the summer. During each semester MSc students study a number of modules adding up to 60 credits per semester (120 in total). This will be followed by a dissertation, also 60 credits, making an overall total of 180 credits.
