About Computer and Network Engineering, MSc, PG Dip, Postgraduate Certificate - at Sheffield Hallam University
Information technology, communications and electronics are some of the fastest growing areas of the economy.
Computer networks provide the infrastructure for most - businesses - educational institutions - retailers - manufacturers - public services.
And many companies increasingly rely on computer and network engineering, which is now a global discipline.
This course is hardware-based, and examines the design, specification, and integration of current and next generation computer and communications network technologies. It is ideal for professionals from communications, hardware design and development. And it is particularly useful for people working in companies that rely on constant innovation.
This course provides an opportunity for you to
increase the depth of your technical knowledge
develop your computer hardware skills
gain a thorough working knowledge of software engineering
study the latest technology for developing communication and network media and suitable applications
gain the expertise to customise computer systems
design and develop computer networks
