Excellence in postgraduate and professional education
Our thriving research community has a strong national and international profile, and is involved in a wide range of research activities. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2008, 85%-95% of our research (which was submitted to Computing and General Engineering) was classed as "Internationally Recognised", "World-leading" or "Internationally Excellent".
Our principal commitment is to translating our research and teaching excellence into competitive, effective graduates who are equipped to inspire and innovate in their chosen careers.

How do you study?
Reflecting the relative maturity of postgraduate students, your teaching and learning is designed to enable independent learning. The majority of taught modules will be centred on lectures supported by seminars, workshops and laboratories to provide a significant knowledge resource.
The various teaching methods are:
•lectures to introduce and develop concepts and to explore the application of these concepts;
•workshops and laboratories to develop skills and appreciate concepts;
•seminars to provide academic support;
•case study and project work to develop a deeper understanding of concepts and applications.
In addition your Programme Leader will provide on-going support during the completion of your course.
The major project element of the course will allow you an opportunity to develop greater subject specialism in one specific Internet or security topic of your choice. The programme will also provide you with the research skills necessary to keep up to date with the continually changing issues in the field such as the semantic web, application-level web-security or digital rights management.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Laboratory/workshops are used to develop a range of practical and problem-solving skills. A typical assessment is a practical assignment where your achievement is presented via a coursework report and viva or demonstration/presentation.
其他 Others
Ninety-nine percent of our postgraduates are employed or engaged in further study six months after leaving (HESA DLHE survey 2008/09).
There are a wide range of career opportunities in the Computing and IT sector and related industries. This course will prepare you for roles as a technical security specialist together with a range of technical development and implementation roles. You will also have the potential to develop into security consultancy and technical management roles. The School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University has an enviable graduate recruitment record.
Some graduates choose to venture into other sectors – such as project management or financial forecasting – where they are likely to be equally successful in gaining employment because of the transferable skills gained on the programme. Other graduates go on to study for a PhD.
