This is a one-year programme (or two years
part time) comprising 12 taught modules
followed by a six-month industry placement
or research project. This MSc is run with
the involvement of a consortium of European
partners, and co-ordinated at Reading. There
are two intakes per year, in February and
in October.
Programme Content: The 12 taught
modules (each module runs as an intensive

comprise a core component and options which
lead to one of the following six specialisations:
- High Performance Computing
and Communication
- Electronic Commerce

Networking
- Computational Sciences
The second semester consists
either of an industrial placement in a European
company or a research project at an academic
institution.
This course aims to provide
training for Honours graduates or equivalent
whose career aims include Network Centred
Computing in a broad sense with focus being
provided through different in-depth streams
in the above-mentioned areas. The objectives
are to give students broad coverage of the
technological and scientific subjects required
to underpin all careers in the IT field
in general, providing in-depth study and
training encompassing state of the art principles
and techniques in the chosen specialist
stream, and equipping students with research
and development skills through a substantial
research or R & D project with industrial
and/or academic significance.
