- Course Highlights
- Networks are strategically important in making our environment safer, more productive and more intelligible by allowing data to be transmitted securely over long distances at high speed. As such, the course provides insights into how the taught concepts can ensure business competitiveness and secure communications, which are both critically dependent on network performance, management and the effective use of networked systems.
- This Programme provides the skills to understand the current condition of the industry besides the obvious advantage of standing out in the job market with technological proficiency.
- The BSc Computer Networks is aimed at students who are interested in undertaking a degree that has practical applications in Mauritius, across Africa and Asia; and those in employment, who need to develop their skills in order to fulfill their job functions, whilst focusing on a wide range of development skills and business oriented intelligent integrated solutions.
- BSc Computer Networks is offered over the course of 3 years.
