Course Description

This MSc programme delivers the theory and skills required to become proficient in advanced software engineering.

It also recognises the importance of software engineering in cloud-based computing and has been designed to meet industry needs in co-operation with several industrial partners.

The programme requires students to undertake many real-world tasks, deploying software technologies in the design and development of complex, scalable applications.

To reflect the growing demand for cloud-based applications and services, graduates of this programme will learn the latest skills in the development and deployment of cloud-based web services for large scale enterprise applications.

Jobs & Career Perspectives

15 months after graduation, graduates of this course were asked about what they do and, if they are working, about their current job and their perspectives.

Student work is assessed through a combination of coursework, portfolio, lab-based practical exams and written examinations. The final mark for some modules may include one or more pieces of course work set and completed during the module. Project work is assessed by a written report and oral presentation. Part 2 requires the student to research and prepare an individual project/dissertation of a substantial nature. University students who are unable to successfully complete all aspects of Part 1 may be eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits) or Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits).
