The School of Computing and Data Science is committed to high-quality education and training of computing professionals at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. At the postgraduate level, we offer five taught programmes based on coursework, the MDASC,  the MSc(CompSc), the MSc(ECom&IComp), the MSc(FTDA) and the MStat, as well as the research-based MPhil and PhD programmes.

The academic staff is active in research and development in a variety of areas including databases, parallel and distributed computing, computer networks, computer graphics, algorithms and complexity, computer vision, multimedia, software engineering, statistical computing, information security and computer forensics, and legal aspects of computing. Some of our research results have been applied to the development of real software and systems. You will have these researchers as your inspiring professors of the courses in this programme. Here are some of them.
