This programme covers advanced networking, software development technologies and architectures for the design and management of network and distributed computer systems. It aims to provide graduates with the deep knowledge, skills and understanding required to enable them to contribute to the planning, design and management of modern network-based computer systems.
Students gain a thorough understanding of the current technologies and architectures necessary for the network and communications infrastructure of enterprise computer systems. They are also taught the necessary skills to develop and design modern distributed software systems using appropriate technologies, architectures and techniques (e.g. distributed component technologies, web applications technologies, web-enabled distributed databases, e-commerce, data warehousing and data mining). Students also develop an understanding of the advanced network technologies supporting the upper layers, together with their planning, management and security.
The focus of this programme is on a sound software engineering approach based on the methods, tools and techniques of modern software engineering project management. This enables students to adapt an integrated lifecycle systems development view.
Career options
Graduates from this programme can pursue careers as developers, network planners, consultants and ICT managers.
