Ringkasan program

The programme prepares students for careers in advanced software development, technology management and commercial and academic research; it balances the technical with the business and finance issues of e-commerce; the programme leverages the department's experience in the area and provides in-depth knowledge and skills of leading-edge technologies, such as cloud computing, mobile computing, data mining and visualisation (for example of geographical and healthcare data), semantic web, natural language processing, and agent-based and peer-to-peer computing; the programme gives students the flexibility to decide the topics of most interest to them, and to specialise in their chosen area through electives and a long project; the programme also teaches practical business skills, for example, through a group project where they either develop their own business idea and its prototype, or work with the Aberdeen Software Factory and a collaborating organisation to develop a solution for the organisation's problem; in either case, the prototype solutions and ideas are showcased to local university and business representatives at a 'Dragons' Den' type fair; this programme is designed to meet the national need for skilled, business aware technologists; the IT industry has identified a critical shortage of advanced computer specialists who are not only familiar with existing technologies, but who can also develop leading-edge applications.
