MSc Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers scalable computing resources on demand, providing solutions and challenges for science and business. Amongst others, the opportunities include a low cost entry point for small companies, more economical use of computing resources and the capability of handling very large data sets. Challenges for practitioners include the design and use of suitable algorithms, the design and implementation of suitable architectures and understanding of risks and opportunities. This MSc will provide a sound understanding of designing, analysing and engineering of systems for handling big data in a distributed environment based on dynamically scalable architectures.
The PGDip includes the same modules as the MSc but without the final project.
The regular degree takes 12 months if you start in September, or 16 months if you start in January. The 'With Industry' degree takes 24 months if you start in September, or 28 months if you start in January.
NB. If you start your course in January, you will take Semester 2 before Semester 1.
