Online course description
This level 7 Certificate of Credit in Software Data Management and Governance is the perfect introduction to Data Management. Over this 10-week course you will develop a critical and in-depth awareness of the theory, concepts, technology, practices, and professional issues involved in the analysis, design, development, deployment, and maintenance of database systems in a global context.
You will take a look at issues related to data management and data storage, such as the UK Data Protection Act in relation to other international legislation.
Practical exercises will allow you to explore a variety of database products, and you will be encouraged to develop an objective, scientific approach towards evaluating them within a theoretical context.
How you will learn
This course module is part of our Computing and IT MSc programme. You will study with a community of tech professionals from around the world to enrich your learning and gain a global perspective.
This course will be delivered by expert academics who are practising professionals too. This ensures that module content remains up-to-date and highly relevant and brings through pertinent examples from the business world which are current and topical.
Assessment method
This course is assessed through 100% coursework with a range of methods, such as essays, research reports, presentations, group work and practical reports.
You should normally have a UK undergraduate degree (at least a 2:2) with honours in any discipline, or an equivalent international qualification. Applicants with a degree in a non-computing discipline or a lower degree classification in a computing-related discipline may still be considered for entry to the programme where they can demonstrate relevant work experience in a management or supervisory position, and followed by an interview to demonstrate effective communication, learning skills and the motivation to succeed on the programme. However, applications may also be considered where there is extensive evidence of key practical experience and work-based training.
