Course description
This advanced MSc/PGD/PGC programme will enable you to act immediately as a professional software engineer. It is directly geared towards the needs of industry, concentrating on the core concepts of the software engineering discipline. In addition it builds upon the substantial expertise (both research and practitioner) that exists within the School; you will gain knowledge of current best practices and explore the latest research. During the project phase, which constitutes one third of the programme you will devise, plan, control and execute a substantial software engineering project that has a real benefit for a sponsor whenever possible coming from an industrial or community organization.
Note that the majority of the project phase can be undertaken anywhere in the world where adequate communication facilities are available.
A generic award of a Postgraduate Certificate in Computing is available for those students who gain a minimum of 60 M-level credits from any of the taught modules within this programme (excluding the project).
