Hi all,
I am in Software testing (contracting) for last 10 years, testing web or mainframe based applications, mainly in Bank and Card Payment. I don't have any formal education in Computer Scienece or IT, I did Masters in Chemical Engineering.
Last few weeks, I have been thinking to join M Sc (part time) in Software Engineering from Oxford.
I think course will help me to expand my knowlegeldge, will give me platform to move into something niche, and a better paying role (e.g. Mobile, Security, Agile, Cloude computing, Network security etc).
What do you say?
Below the list of modules they teach:
Software Engineering Mathematics (SEM)
Concurrency and Distributed Systems (CDS)
Advanced Concurrency/ Model Checking (MCH)
Performance Modelling (PMO)
Software Development Management (SDM)
Agile Methods (AGM)
Interaction Design (IDE)
Requirements Engineering (REN)
Management of Risk and Quality (MRQ)
Process Quality and Improvement (PRO)
Safety Critical Systems (SCS)
Enterprise Architecture (EAR)
Algorithmics (ALG)
Object-Oriented Design (OOD)
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Design Patterns (DPA)
Software Testing (STE)
Robust Programming (ROP)
Database Design (DAT)
Functional Programming (FPR)
Concurrent Programming (CPR)
Agile Engineering Practices (APE)
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
Cloud Computing and Big Data (CLO)
Embedded Software and Systems (ESS)
Mobile and Sensor Networks (MOB)
Semantic Technologies (STC)
Security Principles (SPR)
Secure and Robust Programming (SRO)
Trusted Computing Infrastructure (TCI)
Design for Security (DES)
Risk Analysis and Management (RIS)
People and Security (PAS)
Network Security (NES)
Cloud Security (CLS)
Forensics (FOR)
Data Security and Privacy (DAS)
Security and Incident Management (SIM)
Building Information Governance (BIG)
Mobile Systems Security (MSS)
Security in Wireless Networks (SWN)
Thanks,
iam
