Course programme
Our online MSc programmes are taught 100% online through the University’s virtual learning environment, Studynet. Assessment is by coursework and online tests.
You will receive learning materials, take part in discussions and submit your assignments online. Additionally, you will receive study resources such as key e-books and any specialist software. You will have access to the University's extensive online library facilities, or be able to visit in person if you so choose.
The amount of study time required is no different from that needed for an on-campus programme. You should expect to spend at least 30 hours per week if studying full-time, and in proportion if part-time.
You will be required to follow a prescribed course of taught modules designed for non-computing entrants and will be expected to complete a major independent project that applies what you have learnt to a problem drawn from the subject of t your first degree or from your chosen career path.
