Successful Principles and Practice 3 (SPP3)
Postgraduate Course # 4Mobile Application Design MSc
http://www.kent.ac.uk/courses/postgrad/subjects/engineering-and-digital-arts/mobile-application-design-msc Key facts
Subject area: Engineering and Digital Arts
Location: Canterbury
Duration/Delivery: One year full-time, two years part-time.
Start: September
Award: MSc
Entry: A 2.2 or higher honours degree in an engineering, multimedia, scientific, computing, or similar discipline. Applicants should also be familiar with object-oriented programming methodology.Outline
Mobile applications are having a profound effect on all our lives. Where the mobile phone of the last ten years was just a communication device, today's smartphones are also personal managers and information providers. Over the next few years, we can expect these types of phone to become the basic devices of tomorrow. This advanced Master's programme has been designed to allow you to become a highly skilled professional for the mobile industry, by combining technology, interface design and application development for mobile platforms with a strong emphasis on creating applications of high usability and reliability.

Assessment
Assessment is through a mixture of written examinations and coursework, the relative weights of which vary according to the nature of the module. The final project is assessed by a dissertation. Resources and facilities
The School is well equipped with a wide range of laboratory and computing facilities and software packages for teaching and research support. There is a variety of hardware and software for image acquisition and processing, as well as extensive multimedia computing resources. The School has facilities for designing embedded systems using programmable logic and ASIC technology, supported by CAD tools and development software from international companies, including Cadence™, Xilinx™, Synopsys™, Altera™, National Instruments® and Mentor Graphics™. The SMT laboratory can be used for prototyping and small-volume PCB manufacture. A well-equipped instrumentation research laboratory is also available. Students studying communications have access to both commercial and in-house software tools for designing microwave, RF, optoelectronics and antenna systems (such as ADS™, CST™, HFSS™) and subsequent testing with network and spectrum analysers up to 110 GHz, an on-wafer prober, and high-quality anechoic chambers. Students on the programmes in Computer Animation and Digital Visual Effects work in a dedicated, state-of-the-art suite, equipped with leading-edge PC workstations running Alias™ Maya and Foundary Nuke. There is also an audiovideo laboratory and two video studios with green screen and motion capture facilities. The school is also equipped with a 3D body scanner – one of only two in the UK. Students on the Information Security and Biometrics Master's have access to a state-of-theart biometrics laboratory, which can be used for studying the characteristics of the different biometric modalities introduced during the course.
