Overview
As mobile technology, intelligent agents, distributed applications and multimedia become ubiquitous, there is a growing demand for skilled people able to design and engineer systems with these technologies. This programme offers students the opportunity to understand the principles and acquire the skills to develop the advanced software that underpin these technologies.
The programme is flexibly designed to offer a good range of challenging courses suitable for good graduates from a wide spectrum of first degrees from those in IT to those with little academic computing content.
Full-time students take 4 courses each semester and must normally take courses in bold.
