Bachelor Of Computer Science (Hons) In Computer And Network Technology The Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) in Computer and Network Technology degree program is designed to provide a challenging program for students to demonstrate their full potential in respect to computer networking, software development and computer hardware in the context of modern digital communication systems. This degree is validated by a leading UK university and upon successful completion of the program graduates are awarded two degree certificates. The courses offered cover a wide range of topics including object-oriented programming, network programming and computational mathematics, computer data networks using languages and tools such as Java, C++, UNIX, Network Simulators, Network sensor smart home environment. What is Computer Networking? A computer network enables two or more computers and/or electronic devices to communicate data electronically. Common computer networks include local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN). These networks operate via connections such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet cables Computer and network technologies are an aspect that includes maintenance and repair of these networks, and the application and development of computer networks. It also involves monitoring and analyzing potential issues as well as implementing strategies to prevent and overcome problems should they eventuate. Careers in Computer and Network Technology Graduates will be able to install, repair, and upgrade computer networks. This bachelor program prepares graduates for careers such as: Computer Network Architects who are responsible for designing and building actual computer networks. This can be for small offices through to large infrastructures that serve a vast number of customers. Network and Computer Systems Administrators who provide the technical support and manage customer’s servers to ensure that computer systems are running smoothly. Computer Information Systems Managers, or information technology (IT) managers who help organizations determine and implement IT goals. Computer Systems Analysts who work directly with computer systems to help organizations improve their networks. Why study Computer and Network Technology? The program offers state-of-the-art workshops and laboratories equipped with the latest industry standard technology including, networking labs that emulate the Internet using Cisco equipment, network sensor development environments that allow us to study ‘the Internet of Things’, as well as a dedicated, networked smart home environment. Students will have experience with how to cable and configure routers and switches, as well as other systems such as phones, video cameras and wireless devices. Understand how the network is used in the modern IT industry by studying the way global systems – like Google, Amazon and Facebook – operate. Practical networking experience with sound knowledge of the software running on the servers, giving you the invaluable insight employers are looking for. This degree provides pathways to: Postgraduate Study This program prepares you in deeper knowledge in foundation of Computer Science to pursue a Master’s degree in the areas of Intelligent Systems, Image Processing and Computer Vision by research mode.
