Graduate Diploma in Computer Science

In the University of London’s Graduate Diploma in Computer Science, you'll build a strong computer science foundation, while also having the opportunity to specialise in one of eight areas:

- Data Science
- Games Development
- Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
- Mobile Development
- Physical Computing and the Internet of Things
- User Experience
- Virtual Reality
- Web Development

You will also work on a substantial hands-on project, where you’ll have the opportunity to develop your specialist skills whilst building up your potential as a creative problem solver.

If you commit to 10-12 hours of online study per week, it is estimated that you can complete the Graduate Diploma within a minimum period of one year to a maximum period of five years.

Course 1: Graduate Diploma of Computer Science
- Each Graduate Diploma is made up of six 15-credit modules in addition to a 30-credit final project module. Please see the [University of London website](https://london.ac.uk/courses/grad-dip-computer-science) for full details on the structure of each specialism: [__Graduate Diploma in Data Science__](https://london.ac.uk/data-science-structure-grad-dip) - Data science is a significant subfield in computer science which has seen rapid growth in recent years as companies and institutions have begun to gather data at scale across many sectors. Apply your data science knowledge to a wide range of areas, from medicine to climate science and business analytics. __[Graduate Diploma in Games Development](https://london.ac.uk/games-development-grad-dip)__ - Video games are a critical application area for computer science, and the games industry forms a significant part of the creative economy. Take on this complicated subject with the diploma, drawing on other areas such as computer graphics, interaction design and artificial intelligence. __[Graduate Diploma in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence](https://london.ac.uk/machine-learning-and-ai-grad-dip)__ - Machine learning and artificial intelligence are starting to play far bigger roles in our daily lives. They are used in digital assistants that respond to our voices, self-driving cars and adaptive education systems __[Graduate Diploma in Mobile Development](https://london.ac.uk/mobile-development-grad-dip)__ - Mobile development is a critical application area for computer science. Many of the largest technology companies maintain large scale web applications, providing services such as social media, search, advertising and video and audio streaming. Mobile application development has become a major part of the software industry over the last decade, with established as well as new companies developing thousands of mobile games and utilities. __[Graduate Diploma in Physical Computing and the Internet of Things](https://london.ac.uk/physical-computing-and-the-iot-grad-dip)__ - Physical computing techniques underpin a wide range of contemporary technology trends such as the Internet of Things, the quantified self and smart homes. Use your diploma to apply your physical computing expertise in many industries, for example in creative arts, museums, ubiquitous and embedded computing, scientific sensing, robotics, engineering control systems and robotics. __[Graduate Diploma in User Experience](https://london.ac.uk/user-experience-grad-dip)__ - User experience design or UX has grown out of the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which is about how to design computer systems for use by people. HCI is a major subfield of computer science, and it has informed the visual design and workflow of computer systems we use every day. HCI draws on a range of hard and soft skills and is a naturally cross-disciplinary subject. __[Graduate Diploma in Virtual Reality](https://london.ac.uk/virtual-reality-grad-dip)__ - VR involves the creation of immersive, simulated environments using computer systems. Recent technology advances have made it possible to create high fidelity, high immersion virtual realities which people can access with consumer hardware. Virtual reality has many application areas, including entertainment, education and military. __[Graduate Diploma in Web Development](https://london.ac.uk/web-development-grad-dip)__ - Web development is a critical application area for computer science. Many of the largest technology companies maintain large scale web applications, providing services such as social media, search, advertising and video and audio streaming.
