Course Summary

The course aims to equip students to work as professional engineers and consultants in the design, configuration and management of computer networks. The course format has been designed to meet the requirements of applicants who already possess an appropriate HND, by providing a two-year top-up programme leading to an Honours degree. The main emphasis is on the installation, operation, security and maintenance of computer networks used in business and industry. Most companies now have their own computer network systems which are vital to their operation.
