MSc Software Engineering Conversion

at University of Westminster

Course structure

Teaching methods are aimed at encouraging and involving the active participation of students in their learning through knowledge and skills acquisition by means of engagement, experimentation, self-study and practical experience. The delivery of the course's taught modules involves lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars. For the software development project students are allocated a supervisor who guides them through the project and are further supported by a series of group seminars and workshops that cover general skills and knowledge required for the project.
 

Assessments and feedback are important and are designed to form part of the learning experience. A wide variety of types and forms are used on the course and are dependent on the module and its learning outcomes, including both individual and group work. For example, individual work solving programming tasks, writing a report, group work as part of a team to design and create a complex software application, presenting and demonstrating your work or a group's work.
