Description

Students have the opportunity of completing Cisco CCNA certification courses during this degree course at the BU Cisco Certified Local Networking Academy.

Data communication and computer networks have become integral to all modern organisations and this course gives you the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge to exceed the requirements of this increasingly demanding and expanding market. By the end of the course you will be capable of designing, configuring, managing and administering distributed networked systems to a professional standard.

You will get the opportunity to study traditional network computing with an emphasis on network design, management and the broader administration aspects of networks. Our excellent resources include dedicated network and multimedia laboratories and we will provide you with access to the latest in hardware and software tools for producing professional products.

You can also choose to undertake a professional placement year to gain vital experience, practical understanding and the confidence to develop your final year project. After completing this course you will be equipped to establish a successful career in an exciting area.

This course forms part of the BU Computing Framework, allowing you to change your choice of course within the Framework to best suit your needs.

The richness of careers in the IT industry means that students are not always clear about which area they wish to specialise in before they join us. Some do not decide until they reach the final year. With this in mind, we have designed this Framework to have a common first year and a second year which is largely common. This design gives you exposure to a variety of modern technologies and techniques, before you make your final decision. The first two years cover those areas we know to be foundational for all professionals in this field, in addition year two enables a measure of specialism. In the final year, you have the opportunity to specialise further or to keep your education broader and more general.
