The taught modules run for two 15-week semesters, while project work takes place mainly during the summer period. The first semester is common with the course MSc in Development and Application of Information Systems, which is oriented to the technical development of Information Systems rather than their management. The part-time course runs two evenings a week. Alternatively, one afternoon and evening a week are considered if demand warrants. A module comprises approximately 150 hours of study time, of which 30 hours is class time made up of lectures, tutorials and laboratory periods.
Assessment is by coursework, examination and the project.
Eight taught modules and the project must be completed to qualify for the MSc, which is awarded at pass or distinction. Applications forms should be returned to the Student Entry Team, Campus Office at Milton Keynes. Selection is by interview.
