OTHER INFO
As a distance learning student you do not need to attend the university for any part of your studies, although you are welcome to come and visit us if you choose. You may use any of the university facilities on campus. This includes sitting in on lectures and seminars where appropriate. We provide students with the learning materials necessary to study each of our modules. Special arrangements have been made by the university library to support distance learning students. It will be necessary for you to have access to a suitable computer for the duration of the course. For examinations, the university will support arangements made at alternative venues – at a British Council office, for example. It is also possible to complete this course on an attendance basis – normally over 3 years part-time. If you have any further questions please email us and we will be pleased to respond.

Entry requirements

Normally a good Honours degree (2:2 or above) or equivalent, and at least 6 months of relevant work experience. Exceptionally, applicants without an Honours degree but with substantial experience of information work at middle or senior level will be accepted.

Full-time students are expected to have had experience of at least six months in information work, though exceptionally this requirement can be waived. Part-time students are expected to be working in an information organisation, or to have had experience of such work.

Course Structure
The MRes involves both taught and research components. You take four modules combining research methodology with your subject specialism. Your research skills are developed through group sessions, from formulating research proposals to communicating research outcomes to professional audiences. You work on a flexible basis with a specialist supervisor, from planning your research to completion of the dissertation. You attend Frameworks for Research which introduces you to different research approaches across a range of disciplines. You then select approved relevant modules. Part-time students have access to the same modules and skills training, but can take modules in a flexible way and not begin the dissertation until the second year. Your dissertation is about 20,000 words long.

The Department of Electronics and Information Technology is the largest faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, our Faculty provides education and conducts scientific research in such areas as: automatic control engineering and robotics, information technology, biomedical engineering, microelectronics and optoelectronics, measurement systems, multimedia and telecommunication techniques. Over 300 academic teachers train almost 4000 students of Bachelor’s, Master”s and Doctor’s degree courses. The Faculty offers full-time residential studies and part-time: evening or extramural studies as well as post-diploma courses.

The Northern Collaborative Information Technology (NCIT) Certificate program is a collaboration between Northern Lights College, Northwest Community College, College of New Caledonia, and Yukon College. By taking a combination of distance delivery and face-to-face courses from the partnering institutions, students can complete the program on either a full time or part-time basis. This one year certificate transfers fully into the NCIT Diploma program.

The goal of the NCIT program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the theoretical and applied uses of information technology in various business applications. After one year, students will have detailed knowledge of several PC applications and operating systems. They will be able to install, configure and troubleshoot software in both stand-alone and networked environments. Students will also be exposed to various programming, scripting and mark up languages. Students will also acquire an understanding of IT in a business environment, as well as develop customer service skills. Currently we emphasize training in Microsoft® software products.
