Computer Science with a Year in Industry MComp

at University of Sheffield

You'll learn to understand the theoretical principles underlying a problem, and how to engineer a solution. You'll also become familiar with the practical issues involved in developing reliable, effective software systems in business or industry.
 

As well as learning to program and think analytically, you'll be encouraged to work in teams and develop your communication skills. In the third year you will complete a dissertation project, giving you scope for creative and intellectual input.
 

You'll have the chance to arrange a year in industry. This will put your academic studies into context, improve your skills and enhance your employment prospects. As well as being paid a salary during your placement you will pay reduced tuition fees for that year.
 

In the final year, you'll get the chance to be part of a research team, working alongside a member of staff in one of our research labs. You'll also have the option to participate in Geneys - our student-led software development organisation.
