    MSc Part-time flexible learning at work

Course Description

Do you want to boost your career prospects by studying for an applied computing Master’s degree alongside your current job?

On this MSc Applied Computing Learning at Work Master’s course, you’ll develop the ability to reflect on your own decisions within the workplace and become an independent learner, able to make sound professional judgments when faced with complex IT-based problems. While you progress your existing analytical or programming skills, you’ll be learning how to manage teams and projects effectively too.

Because the course is work-based, you need to already be in a full-time, part-time or voluntary role. If you don’t have an undergraduate degree, you could still do this postgraduate course if you have several years experience in a responsible position or you have high-level skills through experience that isn’t reflected in your qualifications.

Our courses are designed for busy people. You can tailor the course to match your aspirations and your employer’s objectives, and negotiate the pace of your studies around your existing commitments. Your work-based projects have flexibility in their submission deadlines, and with no residential requirements you can study wherever is most convenient for you.
