The Programme is intended for three classes of Honours graduates: those who have a recent Honours degree in Computer Science (or equivalent), those who obtained an Honours degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) some years ago, and those who have an Honours degree in a non-computer science (or equivalent), but who have some level of computer literacy.
The strategy for dealing with students without a degree in computer science (or equivalent) is to rapidly bring them up to a sufficient standard over a narrow front so that they can study effectively a subset of the modules offered on the Programme. The skills chosen for rapid development are in the area of problem analysis, system design and implementation, and professional issues. Entrants who have benefited from relevant experiential learning may have a greater selection of modules for study.
The strategy for dealing with students with an Honours degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) obtained some years ago is to offer a tailored subset of the introductory modules designed for non-computing entrants to rectify dated knowledge.
Entrants with an Honours degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) will be eligible to take all taught modules offered by the Programme, (source: UH Modular MSc Programme Specification).
