Developing mobile computing applications is one of the fastest growing areas for computer specialists.
You will gain a solid understanding of the concepts and technologies used in modern mobile devices such as phones, PDAs and laptops. You will also learn about the networking technologies required to communicate between devices and the outside world. Key technology for data driven websites that are accessible from mobile devices will also be covered and the needs of end users.
You may choose to focus on the multimedia interface design and development used in mobile devices, or the advanced programming and network aspects of mobile technology. The final part will be devoted to your individual project.
All courses start in the September of each year, and the year is divided into two parts.
The taught part has 6 modules, each worth 20 credits, delivered between September and May. The second part is where you undertake an individual project of research and development. This is assessed at the end of the year (September) by a presentation and written dissertation, and is worth 60 credits.
If you do not wish to complete all the taught modules or project, there are three intermediate awards you can achieve instead of the full award of MSc.
