Today’s information technology market is increasingly demanding employees with a knowledge and understanding of both specialised computer software industry skills and particular fields in which these can be applied. For example, companies and/or government bodies specialising in digital media, bio-pharma and/or public policy are looking for computer specialists to develop, adapt and propose in-house solutions for their current needs.

To answer this need, the MSc Multidisciplinary Computing will enable applicants with a computing background to specialise in some of the more current directions in the field including: software development and management; advanced database techniques; human computer interaction; Internet security and data fusion. Alongside these topics a combination of modules will be drawn from the fields of public policy and programme management, electronic imaging and media communications or biomedical sciences. The programme of study culminates in a dissertation, enabling you to bring your multidisciplinary studies together in a significant piece of work. In summary, the MSc Multidisciplinary Computing offers you the opportunity to build your own path of study—from advanced computing modules, the extended list of optional modules available, as well as the dissertation—so as to match your specific career aspirations.

The MSc Multidisciplinary Computing is located in the Department of Computing in the School of Informatics. As one of the oldest computing departments in the country, it offers a vibrant postgraduate atmosphere of study that currently includes eight separate MSc degree programmes and over 200 postgraduate and research students. Depending on their selection of modules, students on the MSc Multidisciplinary Computing will also benefit from studying in the equally vibrant Department of Electronic Imaging and Media Communications (School of Informatics), the Bradford Centre for International Development - BCID (School of Social and International Studies) or Division of Biomedical Sciences (School of Life Sciences).
