What's the difference?

The PGDip includes the same modules as the MSc but without the final project.

Teaching and learning

Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, self-paced learning and practical’s. Assessment is a mix of coursework - computer-based practicals, essays and small group projects - and exams.

The compulsory 'Personal and Group Skills' module combines seminars, group discussions and collective essay writing on selected topics, as well as a series of workshops on transferable skills and career planning.

Careers and employability

Colleagues from industry participate directly in the delivery of some of the modules, including hands-on tutorials that allow you to use some of the tools and methodologies that are shaping the software development landscape. On completion this course leads to MSc in Advanced Computer Science.
