Course Summary

Overview

Cloud computing is revolutionising the way that large, and often complex, datasets are stored and analysed.

Our Cloud Computing MSc focuses on both theory and practice so that you can understand and implement cloud computing applications. You'll cover key subjects such as:

  • advanced object-oriented programming
  • data mining
  • big data analytics

You'll develop both your technical and professional skills to underpin personal development and future career success. Our comprehensive research training provides a basis for PhD study.

This is a demanding and rewarding course. We have close links to research by:

  • the Scalable Group
  • the National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD)

Our cloud computing research also has links with companies such as Red Hat and Hewlett-Packard. They often employ our graduates and also offer summer project internships to students.

Careers

You'll develop both your technical and professional skills to underpin personal development and future career success. Our comprehensive research training provides a basis for PhD study.

Modules

Cloud Computing offers scalable computing resources on-demand. Accessible over the Internet, with a pay-as-you-go payment model, cloud has the potential to revolutionise the ways in which computer systems are acquired, deployed and managed. In order to successfully design and build scalable systems on clouds, a range of knowledge and skills are needed. This module will introduce and examine cloud computing. It will describe the software components from which cloud infrastructure and platforms are constructed. Methods for building scalable cloud applications will be described and explained. Case studies drawn from industrial applications of cloud computing will be used throughout to motivate the exploration of clouds.
