Course Overview

The field of computer science has produced some of the most significant advances in modern technology over the last three decades and radically transformed business and industry practices on a global scale. There is a profound need for postgraduate-level practitioners in this discipline. Why study this course with us? Our course focuses on the Department of Computer Sciences strengths, providing a cutting-edge curriculum in medical graphics, cybersecurity, AI, and user experience, in addition to core computer science topics such as algorithm design. There is also a monthly seminar program in which leading experts present recent findings and introduce contemporary developments in the above and other areas. The Departments commitment to part-time, evening delivery (as an additional alternative to full-time delivery) is particularly attractive to those in employment wishing to gain a postgraduate qualification. This provision is rare among competing institutions and one that has been successfully delivered at Chester for many years.
