Master in Computer Science MSc by Research

Recent student projects tell the story: biomedical text mining for drug repurposing, machine vision that spots food blemishes automatically, bio-inspired neural networks that prevent car–pedestrian collisions. This research MSc lets you define your own project — or adopt one proposed by staff — anywhere across the School of Computer Science's strengths.

Those strengths run from computational neuroscience and machine learning to robotics, medical image analysis, AI in healthcare, social computing and games. Students engage directly with the school's research groups, and many publish in journals or present at conferences with their supervisors' support. Nine to 15 months full-time, 18–30 part-time; October and January entry.
