Course Overview
This course will prepare you for a role in research and development as well as developing your transferable skills.
Computing professionals need to be able to work in a very broad range of application domains, and at the same time cope with the narrow and extremely high-level demands associated with very complex projects. Throughout this course you will be encouraged to recognise the tension between depth and breadth and develop skills to handle it, as well as facing the challenge of applying skills gained in one application domain to another whilst at other times facing the challenge of handling narrow and specialist areas in considerable depth.
Depending on which topics you choose to study, the skills you will develop are those of software engineer, systems architect, systems analyst and designer.
The research project will give you the opportunity to explore your particular area of interest in greater depth. You will learn how to plan research projects, create and interpret computing knowledge and how to report on it to a professional standard.
Throughout this course units are taught intensively, usually over 4.5 days, with assessment normally taking place 5-6 weeks after the delivery of the unit.
