Course Description
This degree programme will equip graduates who are capable of meeting the increasing demands for combining Computer Networks, Security, and Programming expertise raised by the growing adoption of the Next-Generation Network (NGN) services, e.g., VoIP, and Next Generation Network Model, i.e., SDN and NFV, where network devices have turned to be a programmable virtual entity on the cloud.
In addition to core computer science and cyber security modules, this course includes key networking modules prepared carefully according to the new Cisco certification path, in consultation with our Cisco partner. These modules focus on industry level requirements and are certification oriented and will prepare graduates to meet the new skill demands to maximise employability.
The structure of the course and programme modules makes it possible for graduates to also prepare for traditional and emerging computer science, software engineering, or cyber security roles.
