The School of Computing delivers the course. You can study over one year full time or two years part time. The course has three phases.
In phase one (60 credits) we introduce core knowledge and skills through modules. These modules are taught in intensive block mode. Pairs of modules are taught concurrently in 4 weeks of lectures and lab classes during the day.
In phase two (60 credits) we emphasise analysis, research and communication skills, including a team project.
Phase three (60 credits) is an individual research or development project undertaken with personal supervision in one of the School's research labs, or in industry. Recent projects have involved original work in areas like:
- biometrics
- cloud computing
- secure e-voting
- anti-phishing technology
Phase 2 and Phase 3 overlap.
