Our Computer Science Masters degree course keeps you up-to-date with latest topics and developments in areas such as web applications and e-business engineering. Along the way you’ll acquire the research skills you need to prepare you for your dissertation.
The Masters Project offers a valuable opportunity to do in-depth research on a topic you are particularly interested in For those with business connections, this is a great opportunity to start working on a real-life project, either with a company or in order to prepare for a full time job straight after graduation. Here’s how James’s dissertation project helped him gain his first professional role as an IT development consultant
By the end of the course, you’ll have experience covering the full life cycle of a web application, specifically:
- developing the front end and back end of a web app whilst securely storing the data in relational databases
- using ontologies as an alternative to the databases to store information and query it
- recognising the vulnerabilities and learning techniques to build secure systems
- being confident in knowing the infrastructure required to deploy web applications successfully.
From here, you’ll be able to successfully apply your knowledge to the development of any other type of software application (being it mobile, cloud, standalone).
Cambridge is the perfect place to study your Computer Science Masters. Recently named the 'Best UK city to work in' you'll have lots of opportunities to gain relevant work experience locally and, after graduation, can expect an average salary of £35,000. (Glassdoor 2016).

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
