You will have the opportunity to develop your research and analytical skills.MSc Computing (Internet Technology and Security) students will also complete an individual thesis investigating an area related to an aspect of online secure computer systems design and development that are particularly of interest to you and is part of your career development plans.Today’s society relies on computing and Internet technology. This creates a high demand for internet security products and services as well as people with the knowledge and expertise to design, implement and manage secure internet applications. While the University of Northampton’s Computing (Internet Technology and Security) MSc pathway is mostly technical in focus, you will also learn about the business context and develop interpersonal skills that are vital to problem solving in business.
This module emphasises the importance of sound design using appropriate data modelling techniques (e.g. relational modelling, entity-relationship modelling).
This module provides the student with the opportunity to learn appropriate research techniques in order to carry out independent, relevant and in-depth research in a topic of specific interest.
To teach students the fundamental theory and practical applications of search methods and agents. The underpinning concepts will be introduced, followed by examples of how intelligent systems are used in applications on the Internet.
This module focuses on creating client and server side software as well as web applications for the World Wide Web us. It concentrates on the technologies used to allow such software to be designed, implemented and deployed.
The module introduces the key concepts of Computer and Internet Security. The module is designed to provide the student with the necessary theoretical and practical understanding of the technology available to manage and implement secure computer applications in an Internet environment.
This purpose of this module is to consider the structure and behaviour of the various functional modules of the computer and how they interact to provide the processing needs of the user. This module covers systems ranging from PCs through multiprocessors with respect to hardware design and instruction set architecture.
This module concentrates on creating object-based solutions to software problems within a contemporary integrated development environment. It focuses on the concepts of object technology and the syntax and semantics of the underlying model while promoting good practice in software construction and testing.
