The course integrates foundational computing theory with practical application, covering parallel computing, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, cyber security and data science. Teaching is delivered through hands-on projects, collaborative software development and industry-standard tools. Entry requires an honours degree at 2:2 or above in a computational discipline, and the page states that knowledge and experience of programming are essential. A professional placement route extends the course to up to two years.
What the fee covers: the international full-time rate, per year.
Fee year: 2026-27.
English requirement as published: IELTS 6.5 overall with no component lower than 5.5.
Before you budget: the page prints 'International £19,500 per year' against a UK rate of £11,700. A professional placement fee of £1,900 per year applies if you secure a placement. This is not a conversion course: the page requires a computational-discipline degree and states that existing programming ability is essential. If your first degree is not in computing, look at Coventry's MSc Data Science or MSc Business Analytics, both of which accept any discipline at the same £19,500 fee.
