Mobile Design & Engineering (MRes)

Degree structure

 All our ‎‎‌Masters Programmes consist of a wide variety of courses, including compulsory courses, elective courses, and a project.

The compulsory courses for the MRes Mobile Design and Engineering programme focus on advanced mobile technology, reflecting the research-driven nature of the degree.

Compulsory courses

You must take all of the following courses:

• Research readings in computing science

Reading, summarizing, and oral presentation of research papers in all areas of computing science.

• Advanced research readings in computing science

Reading, summarizing, and oral presentation of research papers in a selected area of computing science.

• Human computer interaction

Advanced topics in HCI, including multimodal interaction, novel forms of interaction, users with different abilities, and social media.

• Mobile human computer interaction

Mobile interaction and ubiquitous systems; embedded software development for mobile interactive systems and associated services.

• Research methods & techniques

Review of computing science papers; literature search; design of computing science experiments; computing paradigms.

• Warm-up project

A project chosen by you to gain practice in solving a small research problem.

• Computing Science Research project proposal

Literature survey, problem statement, and work plan for your chosen research project.

Project

To complete the MRes degree you must undertake a project worth 60 credits:

• Mobile Design and Engineering Research project

A project chosen by you to investigate a challenging but constrained mobile design and engineering research problem.
