BSc(Hons) Computer Networks: University of East London

About the programme

The internet and computer networks are changing the way we live, work, play and learn. This programme successfully prepares you for networking and IT-related jobs in the public and private sectors, as well as for higher education in engineering, computer science, and related fields.

The Computer Networking programme is three or four years in length, as the sandwich degrees include a one-year work placement. Full time students will study three modules a semester or six modules a year. All the modules are core modules, however if you want to change to one of their other specialised degrees, or to a more general computing degree, this is easy to arrange. Students are able to work in groups to develop computer-based solutions to real-life situations, often in co-operation with local companies.

Career opportunities

Graduates of this degree will be network specialists who understand the computer hardware and software that enable different parts of a network to link together. There is a great demand for these skills as networked systems are now used throughout business and industry.
