MSc Computer Science
Attendance
- The course may be completed in one calendar year (October to September) of full-time study or two calendar years of part-time study.
- Full-time students attend lectures in the daytime on four days a week. They will need to devote the rest of the working week to practical assignments and private study.
- The part-time course may be taken as an evening course or by
day-release.
- Evening students attend lectures on either three evenings a week or two evenings a week during term-time (it varies from one term to another) and will need to spend further time to complete assignments. An evening lasts from 6.00pm to 9.00pm and consists of two lectures with a 20-minute break in between.
- Day-release students attend in the morning and afternoon one day a week and also one other evening.
- Part-time students should estimate the total time commitment of the course as 15 to 20 hours per week during term-time - that is, about half that expected of a full-time student - although not all of this time need be spent in College.
