Recent years have seen tremendous developments in mobile computing technologies. Personal devices like mobile phones, laptops, PDAs, palmtops, tablet PCs, game consoles and even sensors/tags are radio-enabled, making them part of a larger, mobile Internet. Users on the move have near-permanent connectivity through cellular or WiFi networks, providing access to Internet services and resources, while enjoying the set of applications of each mobile device.
The large penetration of mobile wireless makes the Internet change from a static (wired) topology to a more dynamic one, where some regions will service devices that are embedded and/or mobile. As the markets for mobile networks evolve there will be a demand for graduates that understand the core technologies at all levels including device, system, network and application.
The MSc programme provides students with a firm grounding in mobile technologies and modern networks such as 3G/4G, WiFi, WiMax, Bluetooth, mesh and sensor networks. The emphasis is on software and systems, specifically services and protocols, middleware, security and mobile applications.
Regarding facilities, students on the MSc will have access to a wide range of mobile devices and networks. In addition students will be exposed to the relevant research activities in the Department, including the Mobile & Internet Systems Laboratory (MISL).
The main aim of this programme is to provide the graduates with the knowledge and skills required to contribute to this vital area of information technology as mobile software developers, mobile network designers and next-generation researchers.
