课程特征 Course Features：
This MSc will equip you to work with tomorrow’s computer systems. Platforms may be mobile, embedded, distributed or multi-core and require new techniques to make software efficient, correct and reliable. Networks may be wired or wireless, ad hoc or highly planned, high bandwidth or slow and unreliable – and overlaid with various applications and social connections.
Computers are becoming aware of their surroundings: who is using them, where they are, what interfaces are available, how much energy they consume and the semantics of the data they process. Together these advances lead to challenges of a scale that dwarfs the problems computer science has solved up to now.
In order to successfully meet these challenges, computing needs skilled scientists to be involved in system design. This programme connects with research in the School of Informatics, while retaining very practical connections with software engineering and advanced networking issues, and offers options in areas including multimedia, web systems, security and business.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Autumn term: Advanced Software Engineering ▪ Limits of Computation ▪ Pervasive Computing. You also choose one option from Business and Project Management ▪ Mathematics and Computational Methods for Complex Systems ▪ Security Systems ▪ Web Services.
Spring term: Distributed Systems ▪ Topics in Computer Science. You also take two options from Adaptive Systems ▪ Advanced Digital Communication ▪ Cryptography ▪ E-Business and E-Commerce Systems ▪ Internet-Based Virtual Environments ▪ Multimedia Design and Applications ▪ Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments ▪ Web-based Commerce.
Summer term: you undertake supervised work for the MSc dissertation. This may be research or commercially driven, but will usually require background research and a significant practical element, which may be focused on a software development, an experimental study or theoretical analysis.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
You are assessed by coursework, unseen examinations, essays, programming projects, and a 12,000-word dissertation.
