About the course

  • Gain a master’s degree in one year full-time or 2-3 years part-time through online study
  • Chose from two different routes depending on your qualifications: an advanced programme for Computer Science graduates with a range of specialist degree titles and modules – or a route for other graduates that combines foundation modules in software development with options from these advanced modules.
  • Gain an internationally-recognized master’s degree from the UK’s University of Hertfordshire, at a time and place that suits you, without travel and accommodation costs.
  • Benefit from the same academic standards and quality control procedures as our equivalent on campus course
  • Study with a highly-regarded and long-established computer science department with strong links to business and an RAE (Research Assessment Exercise) rating of 4 (nationally excellent)
