To qualify for a masters degree, students must pass six taught modules and complete a dissertation of 10,000 - 15,000 words. Students can select advanced modules from the areas of networking, databases, software engineering, human-computer interface and intelligent systems. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Teaching methods vary according to the subject and typically include lectures, which provide a theoretical basis, and practicals, which are used to strengthen students' understanding by active involvement. Assessed coursework and projects form the basis for continuous assessment. These methods have been developed to provide the varied support that our students require, and include opportunities for students to discuss their work directly with their lecturers.
Assessment is by a combination of exam, coursework and dissertation.
To apply, students must submit a scholarship application form, available from the School, with a completed recommendation. Entry Requirements Prospective applicants should normally hold a first degree of at least lower second class level in a computer-related subject. Applicants whose first degree is not in computing but who have worked in the computing industry will also be considered.
