MSc Advanced Information Systems
The MSc in Advanced Information Systems provides in-depth knowledge and skills of leading edge techniques, such as user modelling, information filtering, personalisation, adaptive hypermedia, data mining and visualisation, and natural language processing. [More Information] -
MSc Cloud Computing
The MSc in Cloud Computing balances the technical with the business and finance issues of cloud computing. On the one hand, the programme leverages our experience in the area and provides in-depth knowledge and skills of leading edge technologies, such as cloud computing, mobile computing, data mining and visualisation (for example of geographical and healthcare data), semantic web, natural language processing, and agent-based and peer-to-peer computing. On the other hand, the programme builds on the business school's successful MBA programme to provide financial and business analysis of the issues around cloud computing. [More Information] -
MSc Electronic Commerce Technology
The MSc in E-Commerce Technology balances the technical with the business and finance issues of e-commerce. The programme leverages our experience in the area and provides in-depth knowledge and skills of leading edge technologies, such as cloud computing, mobile computing, data mining and visualisation (for example of geographical and healthcare data), semantic web, natural language processing, and agent-based and peer-to-peer computing.

MSc Informatics: Software Project Management
[Distance Learning only]
The Master of Science programme in Informatics: Software Project Management is designed to engage across industry borders, teaching and exploring project management skills and issues equally applicable to students who come from a wide range of ICT-intensive backgrounds (such as software development, information, database, and communication management, software portfolio administration, e-technology project management). While there are a wide number of technical courses focusing on ICT available worldwide, we have introduced one of the few programmes specifically focusing on the different aspects of software project management.

MSc/PgDip Information Technology
The MSc in Information Technology is aimed at graduates who have obtained their first degree in an area other than Computer Science. It provides a route for applicants wishing to change their career path, or those who wish to develop Information Technology skills in order to "add value" in their existing area of employment. The programme allows students to develop skills in Web design and administration while still providing them with a strong grounding in programming and software development. [More Information]
Postgraduate Research Opportunities
Computing Science has a long-standing reputation in artificial intelligence research. Much of our current research looks at the problems of managing knowledge and information in the context of the Internet and World Wide Web and in the automatic generation of natural language tailored for the reader. A key problem is helping humans make decisions and take actions when faced with a vast amount of available data and information. Academic staff are involved in several international collaborative projects including the multi-million pound International Technology Alliance in Network & Information Sciences with academic and industrial partners in the UK and USA led by IBM. The Natural Language Generation research group holds a prestigious EPSRC Platform Grant granted in recognition of their world leading research in this area. We also hold a number of significant research funding awards for projects involving fundamental work in eScience, Healthcare Informatics and the Semantic Web.
