Internet of Things MSc
This intensive one-year specialist master’s course on Internet of Things is aimed at highly-motivated graduates with a good honours degree in computing, engineering or a related discipline. While the course has a particular focus on the employment needs of the local economy, the skills and abilities developed are easily transferred to a more global stage.
The Internet of Things is an exciting and exponentially growing area both within industry and academic. It sits at the intersection between Computing Science, Engineering and Data Science. The proposed MSc in Internet of Things will, therefore, prepare students for both an industrial career with skills in computing, networks, sensor technologies and data analytics in addition to providing a relevant platform to embark on research studies. These types of skills are in high demand within the sector across the key verticals of Smart Cities, Industrial IoT, Connected Health and Smart Homes.
