DESCRIPTION

This programme provides students with systematic knowledge and experience of the theoretical foundations and practice of computing at an advanced level. It is built around taught core modules such as Algorithm Design and Analysis, Data Structures and their Implementation in C++, Parallel and Distributed Algorithms, which are complemented by a wide range of optional modules for multimedia, optimisation, string processing and the web. The final part of the programme is an individual project which is closely linked with the Department's research activities.
