This MSc provides an ideal foundation for graduates who wish to pursue a career as software engineers. The programme provides the opportunity to undertake a significant group software engineering project sponsored by a financial services company, allowing students to specialise in software systems engineering from a financial computing perspective. What and how will I learn? Students gain instruction in all aspects of software engineering needed for the development of large, complex, highly dynamic, distributed software-intensive systems. The programme covers requirements engineering, software design, validation and verification, tools for the development of software intensive systems, and provides instruction in financial information systems. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of seven core courses (105 credits), one optional course (15 credits) and a group project (60 credits). Core Modules System Requirements Engineering Advanced Analysis and Design Validation and Verification Tools and Environments Financial Institutions and Markets Professional Practice Financial Information Systems Dissertationreport All students participate in a group project, encompassing the full software development lifecycle and applying techniques learned, such as the technical skills of analysis, design and implementation. Options Trading and Financial Market Structure Compliance, Risk and Regulation People and Security Networked Systems Distributed Systems and Security Further details available on subject website: sse.cs.ucl.ac.ukmsc The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, written and laboratory exercises, and project work. Student performance is assessed through written exercises with modelling notations, laboratory exercises with tools and environments, unseen examination papers, and a significant, comprehensive group project.
