MSc Computing

The MSc Computing is a one-year postgraduate degree that covers the basics of Information Technology and Computing. The curriculum emphasises practical application, aids students in understanding the course requirements, and offers resources they can use to work on projects that simulate the workplace.

This course includes modules on cloud computing, idea generation, system design, and project management to enhance students' critical thinking and time management skills, which are essential in the IT sector. Additionally, the students will be introduced to extra modules on Java, C++, Fortran, Python, COBOL, Information Security, and Data Analytics.

Learning in this course is delivered through lectures, labs, tutorials, group work, and a work placement. Assessment is through coursework, case studies, problem-solving, and examinations.
