B.Sc.(Hons) Network and Mobile Computing

Network and Mobile technologies have changed many aspects of our lives that we have taken for granted. It is difficult to imagine living without some of the technologies which have become part of our lives. This course will introduce you to how basic computer network and mobile hardware works and the technology behind networks both wired and wireless. Skills developed include computer networks design, correcting network problems, network security preventions, network management techniques, mobile programming for PDA applications and mobile games development. You will learn about distributed and client/server models, Internet and mobile computing environments, distributed data systems and the bandwidth, security and reliability balancing. In addition, optional CISCO certification courses are available for students under the CISCO Local Networking Academy programme.

To ensure a well-rounded and holistic education, the programme also incorporates soft skills courses like employability skills, critical thinking skills, technical writing and etc. Compulsory internship has been incorporated into the programme, ensuring that students gain relevant and real-world work experience before graduating.

According the recent report from International Data Corporation (IDC), Asia Pacific Region itself is facing a shortage of 210,000 networking professionals. The shortage would double by 2009 leaving 40% of networking position unfulfilled. Example of career paths for this course include network designers, network systems managers, Network analyst, Network security consultant, Mobile computing programmer, E-Commerce specialist and Network Engineer.


Information technology (IT) continues to play an increasingly important role in the success of organizations of all sizes. Companies expand their IT infrastructure, rely more on their secure networks and port more of their marketing, sales and internal functions to the Internet, effective IT management becomes more critical than ever. The vast availability of information and explosion of knowledge management tools make accessing information on demand, anytime from anywhere, a new reality.
