About Advanced Computer Science MSc, MSc - at University of Leeds

Explore advanced topics in computer science with this wide-ranging Masters degree, which will equip you with the understanding and practical skills to succeed in a variety of careers.

Rooted in the established research strengths of the School of Computing, the programme will introduce topics like systems programming and algorithms before allowing you to specialise through your choice of modules.

You could look at emerging approaches to human interaction with computational systems, novel architectures such as clouds, or the rigorous engineering needed to develop cutting-edge applications such as large-scale data mining and social networks.

Building on your existing knowledge of computer science, you’ll develop the theoretical and practical skills required to design and implement larger, more complex systems using state-of-the-art technologies. You’ll even have the chance to work as an integral member of one of our research groups when you develop your main project.

Specialist facilities

You’ll benefit from world-class facilities to support your learning, including:

• a state-of the art cloud computing lab with a 10-node cluster

• a large High Performance Computing (HPC) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation

• a visualisation lab including a Powerwall, benchtop display with tracking system, WorldViz PPT optical tracking system and Intersense InertiaCube orientation tracker

• Ascension Flock of Birds tracking systems, three DOF and 6DOF Phantom force feedback devices

• Twin Immersion Corp CyberGloves

• rendering cluster and labs containing both Microsoft and Linux platforms, among others.

It’s an exciting environment in which to gain a range of skills and experience cutting-edge technology.
