About

This MSc is designed for students who wish to supplement their education in a specific set of advanced topics and cutting-edge technologies that they require for their professional lives, or to pursue their studies further to a PhD on a specific topic.

What's the difference?

The PGDip includes the same modules as the MSc but without the final project.
