MSc Future Computing
This new course explores the next generation of computing paradigms and their
applications. Cloud
computing enables consumers to access resources and services without needing
to own, operate or even be aware of the underlying technologies.
Natural computation
involves methods inspired by, simulating or harnessing biological, chemical or
physical phenomena to solve problems or perform tasks that would be difficult to
tackle with conventional approaches. There are also optional modules on green
(energy efficient) computing, mobile technologies and various forms of
artificial intelligence.
The programme draws on Kent's world-leading research. It prepares graduates for a career in cutting-edge industries
and would also serve as an excellent foundation for future
PhD research.
