Course Content
Teaching on this programme is delivered through a mix of lectures, projects, group work and hands-on lab sessions. Many of your lectures will be interactive combining a blend of classroom learning, coding and data analysis. Group and individual projects will be undertaken using real data and will often focus on topical challenges which are the focus of current research.

Assessments will be based on a combination of exams, group and individual project work, practical data analysis, visualisation and communication skills.

The course is based around open source software. As a student you will also have access to many programmes, such as Matlab, through the University.

All aspects of the course are design with windows, mac and linux in mind. Many of your practical sessions will take place in the department’s newly refurbished mac suites.

The taught component of the programme is completed in June with the project extending over the summer period for submission in September.
