课程特征 Course Features：
The MSc in Advanced Software Engineering is a taught programme aimed at graduates from computing or related subjects who want to extend their knowledge and expertise in the field of Software Engineering. The core modules cover advanced programming and cutting edge software engineering technologies, before leading onto modules on relevant Internet and computing topics.
By the end of the programme
You will have learned in depth, through lectures and practical laboratories, a range of key computing technologies needed for modern systems. These include:
•Systematic and advanced-level design abilities using modern software engineering tools and techniques
•Presenting work in written and oral forms that are aligned to modern industrial documentation and reporting standards and needs
•An advanced level of the theory, principles and practice of software engineering and directly related technical topics
•The technical management and industry-standard software lifecycle-based approach to software engineering
•Advanced theoretical and practical appreciations of modern approaches to software engineering including both product and process technologies
The course will equip you with knowledge of modern technology for a career as a technical expert or consultant.
课程内容 Course Content ：
You study eight taught modules and one project module. Each of the eight modules lasts for approximately four weeks and consists of a combination of lectures, tutorials, private study and a mini project. Each of the modules is designed to build upon your growing knowledge and skills.
The final project module involves the design, implementation and evaluation of a significant information systems solution.
The modules available for 2011/2012 are listed below. This list may change in subsequent years, as we update and modify the programme.
•Advanced Java with UML
•Software Dependability
•Advances in Software Engineering
•Enterprise and Distributed Systems
•Research Methods and Professional Issues
•Web Technology
•New Initiatives in Software Engineering
•Information Search for the WWW
•Dissertation
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Assessment will be made based on your laboratory report of 2,500 words for each module and on your individual 20 page journal-style dissertation paper based on the final project. There are no examinations. Some dissertations may involve work with industry, or with other Departments within the University.
Some modules may involve group or team work when a single laboratory assignment report from the team will be required.
