Introduction
The course is aimed at well
qualified graduates wishing to specialise in computing. The course reflects
departmental research interests and expertise in the development of applied
computing systems. These include computer control and telemetry, simulation and
modelling, distributed and parallel processing, and intelligent recognition
systems. The course duration is approximately one year full-time
The taught
part of the course is assessed through assignments and examinations at the end of
a 20 weeks intensive study period. A four-week project, termed the postgraduate
diploma (PgD) project, forms an important part of the
assessment of the taught part of the course. All assessment for the taught part
of the course must be completed to a satisfactory standard before the MSc
project is undertaken.
Satisfactory
completion of the taught part of the course is sufficient for the award of the
Post Graduate Diploma, with progression to the MSc project being optional and
depending upon performance.
The course
has four main themes: Analysis and Design, Software Implementation,
Architecture and Applications. The emphasis is on software engineering,
however, in the context of industrial computing systems, a good grasp of
computer architecture is considered very important. The four themes are
integrated through the application studies and projects.
