Course content

The presence of software applications as components of many different kinds of systems is increasing at an unprecedented pace. Software is now required to operate in a distributed way across heterogeneous platforms, while relying on networks that cannot always be trusted. The pressure to develop applications that can run in such environments with guaranteed levels of quality of service has led to new methods, architectures and techniques. Such is the focus of this advanced MSc.

All of our Computer Science MSc degrees are available with an optional (usually paid) industry placement. If you take a 'with Industry' degree, your qualification will be 'MSc in Advanced Distributed Systems with Industry'.
