University of East Anglia (UEA), MComp (Hons), Computing Science

The MComp in Computing Science prepares you for a career working with rapidly changing technology, giving you a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of computing science.

This four-year course allows significantly greater depth of study than is possible in a three-year degree. The first two years follow a similar structure to the BSc Computing Science and you will study a range of computing subjects, however you will have access to more advanced modules in your third and final years. In these final years you will undertake both individual and group projects, and study subjects at both undergraduate and Master's levels that relate to your interests and career aspirations.

As with all our degrees, flexibility is important and course modules can be chosen according to your interests, creating a personalised learning programme unique to you. Our varied choice of modules reflects the interdisciplinary nature of computing.

The fourth year of your degree allows you to explore more advanced computing subjects, strengthening your research and analysis skills, which are essential if you wished to pursue a successful technical career in industry. The degree has been accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT) which provides an external validation to ensure that the content of the degree is up to date and is organised and taught professionally.
