MSc Internet Technologies and Enterprise Computing
The Internet is an essential part of our infrastructure. Organisations as well as individuals are increasingly using the Internet and the Web for conducting their activities. These rapid developments have created an acute skill shortage in all areas of IT but particularly for computer scientists capable of designing advanced Internet Applications, an area where a broad range of skills are necessary on the part of the designers. The newly created advanced MSc in Internet Technologies and Enterprise Computing addresses this skill shortage.
The course is strong on both theory and practice, providing ample scope for students to carry out challenging project work on networked computing either in the University or in industry. A number of leading IT companies are sponsoring the course for project work to be carried out at their industrial R&D laboratories. These companies include IBM (Hursley), Hewlett-Packard (Bristol), BT (Adastral Park), Prism Technologies (Gateshead), Sage (Newcastle) and Arjuna Technologies (Newcastle).
The course is approved by the EPSRC and a number of studentships (normally for UK students) are available.
The course commences in the middle of September and lasts for twelve months. It is possible for students to take the degree part-time over two years. The part-time version of the course is particularly intended to encourage participation of employees from local IT companies.
