Course Information

A Typical Course Module
Syllabi

A Typical Course Module

The courses, (or modules), that make up your degree programme will vary from the very theoretical to the very practical, but a ‘typical’ course might include 30 hours of lectures and ten hours of practical classes. You will need to do a lot of work in your own time, however you will be able to do much of your practical work when it suits you best.

You will complete coursework for the majority of your modules and will take your exams at the end of each year. All of your grades will count towards your degree, with the project having the highest weighting of all of your modules.

Syllabi

Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of two core modules (30 credits) four option modules (60 credits) and the research dissertation (90 credits).

Core Modules

EDUCGE01 Investigating Research

EDUCGE02 Researcher Professional Development

Options

COMPGW01 Complex Networks and Web

COMPGW02 Web Economics

COMPGI15 Information Retrieval and Data Mining

COMPGZ03 Distributed Systems and Security

COMPGZ05 Multimedia Systems

Or an elective module from the Postgraduate Syllabus Index.

Dissertation/report

All students undertake an independent research project, beginning in the first term, which culminates in a substantial dissertation by the end of your degree.

Whilst every effort is made to keep the syllabus and assessment records correct for each module listed above, the precise details should be checked with the lecturer(s) for that module.
