- Duration
- 1 year, part-time, online. Delivery This programme is part-time and fully online. Classes are live-streamed and recorded, allowing students to engage at times that suit their individual schedules and commitments. Inspired by real-world software development practices, we’ve adopted an "agile semester" approach to content delivery. The semester is broken down into four 3-week "sprints," separated by a reading week. This structure has proven effective in similar part-time programmes, helping students to better consume and manage the course content.
