FAQs

  • Graduates have an excellent employment record and can pursue roles such as Data Analytics Manager, IT Risk Manager, Computer and Information Systems Manager, and Cyber Security Analyst. Employers include leading companies like Google, IBM, Accenture, Oracle, and Hewlett Packard.
  • Broadly speaking, a taught programme involves seminars and lectures (much like an undergraduate programme), and is usually one or two years in duration (full-time or part-time). A research programme is usually longer in duration, involves study of a specialised subject/area, and the student will present a thesis at the end of their research studies. A Structured PhD provides a much higher degree of training for the research student than the traditional research programme which has relied largely on one-to-one interactions with a supervisor. A Structured PhD may include some transferable, discipline-specific, or generic skills training. Your studies, therefore, may have some “taught” components. As with all PhDs, the core component of a structured PhD programme is “the advancement of knowledge through original research”.
  • Applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed if there are still programme places available.
  • The program is a full-time, one-year course consisting of lectures, practical classes, seminars, and projects. Students must complete 90 ECTS credits to graduate, including a major project.
  • Assessment is through a mix of essays, projects, reports, quizzes, presentations, case studies, and collaborative activities. Semester exams are held in December and May.
