Build the advanced computing skills shaping the future

From AI to secure, scalable systems, tech drives change across every industry – and not just in traditional tech sectors. LinkedIn data show industries with the most tech demand in 2025 included manufacturing, construction, financial services, retail, and healthcare (2026 Tech Talent & Salary Report, Harvey Nash).

Created by experts in the City of London, at the centre of Europe's largest tech and AI community (Dealroom Global Tech Ecosystem Index), our online MSc Computer Science degree reflects the innovation and industry links that make the city one of the most exciting tech hubs.

Graduate in as little as 1 year – confident that what you learn matches what employers are and will be hiring for, and ready to build a career in a sector where tech roles now pay 53% more than the UK median salary on average (CompTIA's State of the Tech Workforce, 2026). You'll study 100% online, with regular feedback from your expert module tutors built into every 8-week module, and the option to switch to part-time when you need more flexibility. 

What you'll learn and why it matters

  • Design and develop secure, high-performance software, networks and databases that meet modern demands.
  • Build critical thinking for AI, machine learning, and large language models to create adaptive solutions even as tech advances. 
  • Implement and manage cloud-based infrastructure using virtualisation, containerisation and networked systems.
  • Learn to outthink evolving threats with the judgement to adapt your defences, and keep learning as attackers do. 
  • Deliver a final research project shaped around your own workplace or specialism, to support long-term career growth.

Former Vice President (Academic) of the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and Chair of the BCS Academy.

I actually wanted to say how happy I am that I’m studying on this programme and how lucky I feel. The programme is very well structured, the study materials are solid, and it has helped me develop my skills and knowledge significantly. There are many online programmes available, but finding one that combined academic quality, accessibility and affordability was very important to me.
