### Course structure

Our comprehensive MSci Computer Science with Study Abroad programme enables you to gain a thorough grounding in the theoretical foundations of the discipline. You'll also delve into specialist higher level areas of interest, and gain new experiences whilst studying abroad.

#### Year 1

Your first year is made up of compulsory computer science subjects, and you’ll receive a comprehensive education in fundamental, relevant subjects.

You’ll be given an overview of the subject and gain a firm foundation in the principles of algorithms, artificial intelligence, software engineering and relevant maths.

#### Year 2

In your second year, you’ll move on to study more fundamental subjects in computer science, including enabling technologies such as databases, and the formal basis of programming languages.

This combined learning will allow you to put the theory into practice, giving you a much deeper understanding of the subject.

#### Year 3

Year Abroad

You'll spend your third year studying at a partner institution in a different country. This will allow you to apply knowledge you have learnt while experiencing new cultures and taking advantage of new opportunities.

#### Year 4

Your fourth year will allow you to choose from a wide range of optional modules, from subjects relevant to industry, to more research based areas.

#### Year 5

In your final year, modules from our range of Masters programmes will be open to you to choose from. You'll also undertake a much more in-depth 60 credit software project.
