Third Year
In third year you must take the following classes:
In addition you should pick four of the following classes:
- CS310 Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
- CS311 Programming Language Definition and Implementation
- CS312 Web Applications Development

- M9352 Internet Law *
* M9352 Internet Law used to be a compulsory class for MEng Computer Science, but the Law School indicated that they might not be able to teach this class from 2014-15 onwards due to resourcing constraints. The Law School are able to teach M9352 in 2016-17, so despite the fact that it is no longer listed in the regulations for MEng Computer Science, we are allowing MEng Computer Science students to choose this as an optional or elective class.

Industrial Placements
You will normally do a three month placement between third and fourth year (CS416 Industrial Placement 1). If you do not find a placement between third and fourth year, you will need to find a placement between fourth and fifth year, otherwise you will not qualify for the award of MEng Computer Science.
If you have taken your three month placement between third and fourth year, you may elect to take a second placement between fourth and fifth year (CS552 Industrial Placement 2).
