MSc in Information and Web Technologies
Aims of the Programme
This is a specialised MSc programme focusing on the area of information management and web technologies, which are major research strengths of the Department. Students take a majority of their 8 modules in these areas, supplementing these with other specialist options.
Students build upon this taught curriculum through a substantial practical project in the area of one or more of the modules. Students who complete this MSc will have gained strong practical and theoretical knowledge of the above areas which they will be able to use in:
- analysis of problems arising in information management and web technologies
- evaluation of technology options
- deployment of appropriate solutions
- research into, and development of, new technologies.
Special Features
The programme has been designed to meet the needs of both full-time students wishing to advance their knowledge of web technologies and information management before embarking on a career in IT or on a research degree, and part-time students already working in the IT sector. The programme has a significant research element as several of the modules include investigation into recent research advances.
