MSc Computer Network Management |
| Computer networks underpin almost every aspect of modern business and it is therefore essential that they are designed, configured and operated at their optimum efficiency. On this programme you will focus on the operation and management of computer networks and be introduced to the concepts, paradigms and functions as well as the underlying applications and tools for network management. This programme is ideally suitable for candidates with a business or management qualification that includes a significant IT component, or with an IT background. Special features: Relatively small class sizes and strong tutorial support. Emphasis on professional and project skills for your step into industry. Real enthusiasm to support students explore new concepts and innovations. Practical work integrated into every module Newly-built and well-equipped specialist networking labs Suitable for students with technical and business backgrounds. Covers both day-to-day network operations and strategic network planning. Modules Computer Networks, Wireless and Mobile Communications Systems - 30 Credits Computer network technology enables a vast range of significant activity: business competitiveness, national security, personal communications to name but a few. This module will establish an understanding of the operation, capabilities, security issues affecting network and Internet communications, business use of computer networks and the various ways in which these factors interact with each other. On successful completion of this module, you will come to appreciate the operation of a variety of types of current networks and a single framework will be used to analyse, design and construct networks capable of providing the right connectivity and performance needed by specific applications. In particular, you will understand the principal technical aspects of underlying computer network operation, their capabilities, security threats to networks and a range of countermeasures that can be taken to mitigate these. You will be able to analyse and evaluate specific networks for a range of applications and are provided the opportunity for developing commercially viable network applications. Network Management, Security and Disaster Recovery - 30 Credits The module aims at imparting the conceptual knowledge and acquiring the skills essential for: (i) The management of computer networks, their development and subsequent operation, monitoring and assessment ii) The management of the security of an enterprise information and network systems, including risk analysis, incident response and disaster recovery plans Network Systems and Services - 30 Credits This module looks at the design, implementation and maintenance of network systems and services. It examines concepts such as a network operating system and explores networking paradigms including socket and thread-based programming, Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), CORBA and Java RMI. It also explores the design and implementation of Global Services such as Web Servers. The course concludes by looking at new developments in networking including Network Processors, Blade Servers and Grid Computing Web-based Information Systems Management - 30 Credits This module studies and evaluates different classes of Information Systems used in a range of organisation types, and the underlying technologies used. The business strategy of an organisation should be supported by Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) strategy. In order to achieve this developing IS should be part of an organisation's strategic planning. In the internet age the driving force behind E-Commerce is the data management systems. Hence, the module covers the relevant elements of organising web-driven data, online client/server data transaction technologies, and applying Web-based interfaces for data extraction. This module aims to integrate theory and practice in a holistic manner. Postgraduate Project in Computer Communications - 60 Credits This project would give the student the opportunity to use a combination of general and specialist computer communications knowledge and understanding to apply an existing or emerging technology to the solution of a practical problem. Or to contribute and extend the theoretical understanding of new and advancing technology and its application. The project will also give students the opportunity to demonstrate a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment. |
