Courses
PgDip/
MSc in Computing
The PgDip in computing course is designed for non-computing
graduates who wish to study software design and development.
It is based on sound software engineering principles and
includes modern formal and object-oriented design methods,
as well as established techniques. This ensures that our
postgraduates are equipped for change in the processes of
software production.
The course will enable you to develop a good knowledge of
computer software development for a range of problem areas,
such as interactive websites, stand-alone applications and
network systems. Because of its emphasis on software system
construction and data organization, the qualification is
applicable to a wide variety of fields concerned with using
computers, as well as directly to the computer industry
itself.
Lecturing staff have extensive experience in teaching on
undergraduate and specialist PGD courses in computing, as
well as a wide range of previous industrial and commercial
backgrounds.
Course Duration
The programme can be taken either in a part-time mode by the students in the UK, or in a full-time mode by overseas students. The full time PGD is of one to one & full calendar years duration with enrolment on the programme possible either in September or January. For the part-time PGD there is a maximum duration of two years.
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Our teaching methods reflect the subject's
content, character and, of course, each lecturer's
personality and expertise. Lectures serve to provide a
theoretical basis, while the practical sessions are used to
strengthen your understanding by active involvement.
Assessed coursework and projects form the basis for
continuous assessment. The method of assessment includes
examination and coursework reflecting the development of
academic content from the more practical aspects to the more
conceptual.
Examination: 70%
Coursework: 30%

Quality
Teaching staff is very quite competitive and
many of the modules are enriched by their research
expertise. Visiting lecturers are also invited from research
organisations and industry.
Master
Degree programme
The full MSc programme requires students to achieve 180 credits of postgraduate modules. Students will take 120 credits of taught, postgraduate modules at LSST for the award of the PgD, and then progress to the University of Greenwich to take a 60 credit dissertation for the award of the MSc. The taught modules will include core modules and elective modules. Due to the rapidly changing nature of computing, the selection of elective modules may vary each year and will also depend on the availability of modules at LSST.
