Foundation Route

MSc Foundation Routes are offered to students who have a good degree in a Science or Engineering subject but little formal training in Computer Science at the degree level.

To enter the Advanced Programme you are required to take at least 2 Foundation course units by Distance Learning, and at maximum 4. Normally these are taken in the year preceding full entry to the MSc Programme.

In order to progress to the full taught programme you must pass all of the required Foundation course units at the 50% level. 15 credits are carried forward towards your MSc. You must then complete your MSc programmme according to the regulations.

If you wish to enter by the Foundation Route, please indicate this on your application.
