The Computer Science and Information Technology programme is an interesting one because nowadays, regardless of any professional field, computers are essential in the workplace. The English-based curriculum emphasises both theoretical learning and practical applications.

Studying at the Faculty of Computer Science and IT in the UK

The Master's degree in Computer Science is suitable for students who have not completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science but wish to further their studies in computer science, as well as for students who have a direct background in computer science. For those who have already graduated with a computer science degree, it is recommended that they apply for the MA Advanced Computer Science programme instead. An important requirement is an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher.

The main focus of this programme is software workshops, with an emphasis on practical learning. For example, Java programming is taught in small groups with a low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing instructors to get to know all students in a short period of time. This provides students with a comprehensive understanding and ample opportunities to ask questions or engage in discussions. The curriculum is rigorous, and there are also summer projects that need to be completed during breaks.

But what is very interesting in England is that students do not have to study all the subjects in the curriculum but can choose modules that they are interested in. Moreover, they can access the university's hardware and software systems 24 hours a day while studying.

After graduating, computer science students in England have a wide range of career opportunities, such as working in the electronics, food, oil, sales, software houses, banking, education, or even tourism industries. All of these fields require expertise in computer science. For those who have already completed their undergraduate degree in IT, they can also develop or switch careers in research or teaching.
