St Martin's Institute of IT, a teaching institution for the University of London in Malta, has announced the introduction of a portfolio of seven post-graduate degrees at Master of Science (MSc) level in specialist ICT areas. All these degrees are conferred by the world-renowned University of London, and led by specialist faculties from three lead colleges of the same university.
The master's degrees are open for Maltese students who have a first degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, information systems and related areas and wish to take this opportunity to upgrade their qualifications.
The MSc degrees include three different pathways in an MSc telecommunications programme, namely an applications pathway, an internet computing pathway and a network pathway, as well as an MSc in wireless networks. These four master's degrees are the answer for the massive developments taking place in Malta and the world in telecommunications and are led by the Department of Electronic Engineering of Queen Mary College, University of London. The benefit of studying for an MSc in a research-active department is that subjects are taught by people who are at the cutting edge of research in their fields.
The other degree on offer is an MSc Computer Games and Entertainment. This degree is being launched simultaneously at Goldsmiths College, University of London and at St Martin's Institute of IT, following the successful launch last year of the undergraduate BSc (Hons) in Creative Computing and the BSc (Hons) in Computing and Information Systems which is now in its eighth year. The Department of Computing at Goldsmiths is arguably Europe's leading department for the combination of mainstream computing research, and its creative and innovative application in key interdisciplinary areas.
St Martin's Institute of IT is also offering Maltese graduates the possibility to read for an MSc in Information Security led by the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. The Information Security Group is one of the foremost academic security groups in the world, regularly hosting international visitors and has close links to leading companies in the area of information security.
The institute is also offering a Master of Laws specialising in IT laws, which programme is open to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. This LLM is a multi-departmental programme, emanating from the Departments of Laws at Queen Mary, University of London and University College London (UCL), and is addressed to develop lawyers and consultants qualified to support the ICT industry.
All MSc degrees are supported by the respective departments both directly and through St Martin's Institute of IT, and include regular visits by the subject specialists from the respective lead departments to teach in day workshops for the students following the MSc programme in Malta.
All the seven master of science degrees are supported under the myPotential scheme with a minimum rebate of 70 per cent of all costs paid as tax rebates after graduation. These degrees are being offered on part-time basis over three academic years.
"Each of the departments of these universities has shown its commitment to offer opportunities for doctorate studies for students who show the aptitude and commitment," St Martin's Institute of IT said. "This is a unique opportunity for students to follow specialist post-graduate studies in ICT, since what is on offer to date are only conversion post-graduate degrees in general ICT."
