MSc in COMPUTER SCIENCE


The aims of the MSc programme
    The British - Hellenic MSc programme is designed to equip students with essential modern computational skills and knowledge and prepare them to face with success the recent technology improvements and work in any Computerised Enterprise within Greece or other country of the European Union.
    In view of the rising complexities and completion in both computer and business societies, the programme also aims to provide students with the necessary management capabilities in order to fit their knowledge in the context of modern business logic and environments.
    In the British - Hellenic MSc., students will study the techniques to create valid S/W projects using the latest technologies and with maximum quality. The MSc programme will not only provide students with the vision of a career divert opportunity, but it will also be a high qualified experience, for all those who want to dominate in the S/W industry, world wide.
    The tools that they will be provided upon their successful graduation will enable them to get involved with the recent technology achievements. The British - Hellenic MSc programme will satisfy those who seek a scheme of study that will create a vision for them to follow to the new era of computer education and qualification and also those who want to create their own critical point of view on every subject of the Information Technology that is influencing their working environment, but was just a black box to them until now.

Programme structure and curriculum
   The MSc. curriculum reflects the British - Hellenic commitment to understanding the global Information Society, by focusing on strategic goals where most s/w engineers all over the world are focusing. Experienced professionals and academics have defined desirable outcomes for the graduates and the curriculum is continually being assessed to incorporate basic functional skills, analytical abilities, conceptual frameworks, new technologies, and global perspectives.
   The programme lasts 24 months (part-time) and there are four semesters. All modules are core and every participant must take all of them. A dissertation project will be initialized at the end of the semester work, with submission deadline at the end of October. This research work will predefine the final qualification outcome. All courses are compulsory taught.

Nature of the Programme
    The programme is designed for young and mature professionals wanting to seek a further career in computer business.
   Thus, the course will be of interest to the following classes of people :
   1. University graduates in computing who want to upgrade their knowledge.
   2. Mature professionals already working in computer related fields without University degree.
   3. University graduates from non computing disciplines like:
   Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, other Sciences spectrum.
   4. Other university graduates interested in specializing according to the content of our programme.
    Qualifying for this MSc. programme, students invest in the future technology and forward their intuition, to many opportunities that they will open in all aspects of industrial and academic life, in the coming decades.

Standards of Achievement
    The Master of Science in Computing will be awarded to participants who have demonstrated during their programme:
  • a systematic understanding of relevant knowledge about computer aided organizations, their external context and how computerized companies are managed;
  • application of relevant knowledge to a range of complex situations taking account of its relationship and interaction with other areas of the computer fields of knowledge;
  • synthesise a range of information in the context of new achievements;

        Acquisition of the above is through lectures, tutorials, seminars, group work, presentations, forums and computer practicals. Formal contact with lecturers and the programme director. Module outlines complete with reading lists distributed. Seminar / tutorial support where appropriate. Feedback on assignments.
