About the course
By studying Computing Systems at a postgraduate level at Nottingham Trent University, you will learn the high-level skills necessary to pursue a career in software engineering, specifically for industrial and business systems. Both the Postgraduate Diploma and MSc courses address commercially relevant topics such as analysis and design, software implementation and computer architecture. You are also encouraged to take a hands-on approach to developing your skills through practical projects.
There is an increasing demand for individuals who are capable of implementing the new computerised and automated industrial and business processes. Companies are finding it hard to recruit the suitably qualified people who are needed to maintain the cutting-edge status of global business and exploit new technologies. As a result, career prospects for Computing Systems graduates are excellent.
Study routes
Based within the new, purpose-built, £8 million building of the School of Science and Technology, we are able to offer postgraduates the option to study either a Postgraduate Diploma or MSc in Computing Systems.
Both courses aim to produce individuals who have the skills relevant to applied software engineering for computing systems in industry, business and research, and are able to hit the ground running in their chosen careers. On completing these courses, you should be able to use suitable programming languages and their development environments to produce new software solutions.
