Advanced Distributed Systems MSc with Industry

The presence of software applications as components of many different kinds of systems with dynamic configurations is increasing at an unprecedented pace. The focus of this MSc is on new methods, architectures and design techniques for software systems that are able to operate, with guaranteed levels of quality of service, across heterogeneous and distributed platforms.

What's the difference?
The PGDip includes the same modules as the MSc but without the final project.

Duration
The regular degree takes 12 months if you start in September, or 16 months if you start in January. The 'With Industry' degree takes 21 months if you start in September, or 24 months if you start in January.

NB. If you start your course in January, you will take Semester 2 before Semester 1.
