MSc Cloud and Enterprise Computing

Learn how to design, develop and manage scalable Enterprise-level information systems within the Enterprise and in public computing Clouds, with emphasis on computing and management techniques.

You will learn the principles and techniques necessary for designing, developing, and evaluating Enterprise Information System (EIS) that are distributed, interoperable, intelligent, and adaptive to change. In addition, the major project element of the course will allow you an opportunity to develop greater subject specialism in one specific Cloud or Enterprise computing topic of your choice.

How you’re taught

The postgraduate academic year is divided into three terms, each of ten weeks plus a 15-week independent study period for MSc students. If you take the sandwich route, you will take a one-year work placement after the first three terms before returning to NTU the following year to start your research project.

All modules are assessed either by coursework, case studies or dissertation and there are no formal examinations. Laboratory session and workshops are assessed through coursework reports and presentations.

You will learn through:

• lectures
• specialist laboratory sessions
• seminars
• project work

Careers and employability

The industry-focused nature of this course will ensure that you stand out from the crowd when it comes to job applications and pursuing your future career. Nottingham Trent University graduates are widely respected amongst employers and our Computing and Informatics students are perceived as having the competitive edge due to the hands-on approach of our teaching.

You will be particularly attractive to organisations seeking to integrate their Enterprise-wide applications (EAI), automate Business to Business (B2B) relationships with other partners, or migrate their application services to scalable Cloud infrastructures.

Alternatively, you will be fully equipped to continue your studies to Doctorate (PhD) level at any UK or EU university.

Students need to have a UK honours degree (2.2 minimum) or equivalent in a Computer Science or Computing related subject such as Software Engineering and Information Systems. Applicants with relevant employment experience or other relevant qualifications will also be considered.
