About this programme
The course covers contemporary computer science including data analytics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and networking. Students work in dedicated labs with industry-standard equipment and can contribute to faculty research projects. Entry requires a second-class honours degree in a relevant subject, or equivalent professional experience and qualifications. Recognition of Prior Learning is considered. What the fee covers: the international full-time rate, per year. Fee year: 2026-27. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5. Before you budget: the page prints 'International and EU students, Full-time: £19,200 (may be subject to annual increase)' against a UK rate of £9,700; the 'subject to annual increase' wording is the university's own. Check the length before you choose a start date: the September start is 12 months, but the January start is 18 months full-time, which can mean a second tuition charge and six extra months of living costs. Portsmouth also runs a separate MSc Computer Science at its London campus with different fees; this is the Portsmouth campus course. Portsmouth graduates get a 20% alumni discount, which will not apply if this is your first Portsmouth course.
