Pre-Master's Computer Science

The principal aim of the programme is to enable graduate students to linguistically and academically negotiate the transition to university and be prepared for the demands of a postgraduate degree programme in either cybersecurity or data science. The programme syllabus is designed around the acquisition of core academic knowledge, skills and literacy development that underpins successful higher education outcomes.

Successful completion of the Pre-Master’s programme at the required level will lead to progression to the MSc Cyber Security or MSc Data Science at Lancaster University Leipzig.

The Pre-Master’s Computer Science programme offers students an optimal preparation for their success at the taught postgraduate course of their choice. Students learn through a combination of formal, interactive lectures in relevant content areas, interactive seminars, practical workshop sessions, IT-enabled self-study opportunities and peer support activities. Practical application of theoretical knowledge allows students to develop further skills and understanding of relevant topics and concepts. In addition, formative learning opportunities are incorporated into each of the modules.

Progression to: MSc Business Analytics

Our MSc Business Analytics covers a combination of technical skills, critical thinking skills and soft skills.

This programme will train you in analytical decision-making. Not only do you learn the theory of business analytics, but also how to apply it in practice. This involves generating relevant business insights using data-driven methodologies and tools. Our programme is one of the few to teach the entire business analytics life cycle, covering descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics.

You will enhance your programming in both R and Python, the two most popular languages in the areas of machine learning, statistics and data mining.

You will strengthen your skills in statistics, data analytics and visualisation. You will improve your problem structuring and problem solving. You will also hone your presentation, negotiation, and leadership skills.

All these skills enable you to develop the competence and confidence to contribute to the grand challenges faced by organisations.
