If you already work in the IT sector, or you intend to pursue a career in IT or a research degree, our MSc Advanced Computing Technologies is designed to advance your knowledge of advanced computing technologies, data science and data analytics. This specialised course will provide you with the skills to analyse problems in the evaluation and application of technologies, and in research into, and development of, new technologies.

The course focuses on areas of expertise and research specialisation within the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, and covers state-of-the-art techniques in, for example, the management and analysis of 'big data', software development of information systems in cloud, mobile and web-based architectures, and computational methods for intelligent information management and analysis.

If you want to study software engineering but don't meet our standard entry requirements, our foundation year could be for you.

You'll learn the fundamentals of maths, physics and engineering in a variety of innovative ways to prepare you for your degree.

Our software engineering degree focuses on the art of engineering complex software systems. The course not only teaches you state-of-the-art software design and programming technologies, but also lets you practise your skills in project management, teamwork and working with customers - skills expected by employers.

On this MSc, you’ll learn the core aspects of mobile networks and the changing internet environment. You’ll gain insight into the advances in next generation 5G/6G mobile and wireless communications, continuous evolution of internet technologies and the supporting software solutions. 

You’ll complete an MSc project, which can encompass experiments conducted in our pioneering testing facilities. These include the on-campus mobile network testing infrastructure at 5G/6GIC, which is a fully functional academic 5G network test site. 

There’s also scope to explore a variety of other topics, such as future internet technologies, 5G/6G mobile networking, and network ‘service’ management and control, as well as emerging network services like broadband and 'internet of things’ applications. 

Advanced software technology is critical to the functioning of modern society. Computing systems can be found in science and engineering, medicine design and manufacturing, commerce and public service. Software technology dictates how these systems operate and how they are used.

The MSc Advanced Software Technology is suitable if you are a Computer Science or Software Engineering graduate or if you have relevant experience from a first degree. It may also be suitable if you have substantial experience of working in a related environment and wish to develop your knowledge.

Our £32.5m Computational Foundry lies at the heart of this course. Sophisticated teaching and research equipment include a Vision and Biometric Lab, a Maker Lab, a Theory Lab, a Cyber Security/Networking Lab, a User Lab and a Visualisation Suite.

You will choose modules from a diverse range of computer science subjects. These include artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and operation systems, big data, and network security.

Broad learning in the first part of the course is followed by a substantial project module in the second part. This puts you in a strong position for seeking employment or undertaking further study.

This MSc focuses on the methodologies and technologies that address the challenges that companies are facing for competing in the volatile markets of today. It looks at how to generate applications from high-level business models to reduce time-to-market and development costs and how to evolve legacy systems and promote business processes in an economy dominated by the need to offer and integrate, on demand, new services.

Software engineers create and maintain software applications using best practice from computer science, project management, engineering, application domains and other fields. This programme is designed to teach students how to apply state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies to develop high quality software to professional standards at an advanced level. Computer Science at Heriot-Watt is ranked 6th in Scotland by The Complete University league tables (2021).

Our newly renovated Master of Science in Software Engineering Systems takes a sociotechnical, engineering approach to software. This engineering foundation is designed to enable students to embrace real-world complexity as an opportunity for innovation. We are committed to shaping our students to be intuitive problem solvers, experienced engineering architects, and result leaders who will have a great impact at the exciting three-way intersection of computer science, engineering, and ethics.

Our program offers a multitude of courses in Big Data engineering and analytics in addition to supplementary courses that are required to deliver the data-analytics results in a meaningful way to management. We cover data management, advanced data management, business intelligence, column databases, data science, and Big Data engineering. We offer advanced functional programming using the powerful Scala language and a course on advanced data science as well as cloud computing. Multithread concurrent computing is also offered, which is important for synchronizing a huge set of servers working in parallel to help large-scale analytics run faster by a hundredfold increase in speed. Due to the high-level mathematical operations required to run these programs, only software engineers have the capacity to work in such complicated areas.

Software is the way users interact with computers, phones, and other devices like Apple watches, Siri, Google, and Alexa, smart fridges and cars, and so much more. Software developers are the people who build, code, maintain, update, and innovate all of the apps and software that make that technology work. Through our MS in Software Engineering, you will develop the skills essential to be a 21st century changemaker.

The School of Computing and Information Science offers Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Science (MS) degrees in Computer Science.
