Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters options
If you have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry criteria for this course, you may qualify for our Extended Masters or Enhanced Extended Masters courses.
These courses feature four specially designed modules which will improve your academic and English skills. Once completed you can progress directly onto the regular Masters course. See below for more information.
You can also choose to take this course with an eight week internship at a relevant organisation. Companies throughout the UK offer internship opportunities and, if you choose this option, you can gain workplace experience, develop new skills and connect with potential employers.
There are four main types of study that can be chosen during the internship, through employer engagement:
You will have an academic supervisor throughout the duration of your internship module. Regular supervisory meetings will take place at the university during this period as you work on your dissertation write-up before, during and after the completion of the internship.
*As we are in unprecedented and unpredictable times, there is no guarantee that you will be successful in securing a placement in the UK in the future.
If you choose a course with placement/internship route we would like to advise you that if a placement/internship opportunity does not arise when you are expected to undertake the placement then the University will automatically transfer you to the non-internship route. This is to ensure you are still successful in being awarded a degree.
The internship route for this course is open to UK students only.
You should have an honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK university or equivalent in computing, or business or engineering with a significant level of computing.
We will also consider equivalent professional qualifications or a relevant HND provided you can demonstrate relevant work experience. In this case you will have to complete an interview with your application and some optional modules may not be available without a first degree in computing. All applications are considered individually.
