Leeds Met is recruiting for Green Computing Masters
The MSc Green Computing is aimed at Information Technology professionals and graduates who want to use their skills to develop more environmentally-friendly computing systems and play a key role in developing sustainable IT strategies. Professor Colin Pattinson, who leads the teaching on degree programme said, 'Green IT is an area that is really building and students will be taking this up-to-date knowledge back to their workplaces or setting up as consultants; making sure that IT plays its part in a sustainable future. As inefficient computing uses unnecessary amounts of electricity, and increasing UK and EU government legislation is affecting the energy use of organisations, companies are beginning to look for solutions. With specific posts in the area of green computing being created, Green IT Consultancy is emerging as a new career.' Course modules cover IT energy measurement, green computing technologies, efficient and sustainable computing, legal and ethical topics and the development of green IT strategies as well as a research dissertation. Each module is based on a two-day seminar, allowing students to fit their studies around work. Click here for further information about the MSc Green Computing or call 0113 812 3113.
