In this degree you can select modules from other MSc courses so you have the flexibility to tailor a course to meet your individual requirements.

You can choose to broaden or specialise your studies at an advanced level.

For example, you might incorporate programming for graphics and computer games or, if you already have skills in computer graphics, you may branch out into areas of web technology or enterprise development.

You can choose from a large portfolio of modules and will be given academic advice on the most appropriate choices to match your experience and skills, and to ensure that a coherent degree pathway is established. The final stage will be devoted to your individual project.

Course Structure and Content

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.

It may not be possible to offer all the options every year (modules marked # will not be running in 2008-9). Students will choose their modules in consultation with an academic tutor during the first week of the course.]

Funding and Fees
