Program Description
This Middlesex University course provides both intensive practical training and a profound theoretical education, extending beyond the technicalities of network security to cover strategic and organisational issues. During the studies, students will work with Middlesex' LTE test bed and Blade Server, and they will learn how to access and configure cloud-based networks.
Students will be encouraged to learn, explore and work within Middlesex' award-winning technology centre and its five specialist laboratories equipped with the latest industry-standard hardware and software, including OPNET, Wireshark, MATLAB, Simulink, OpNet Modeller 17.0, OMNeT++ , NI and Cisco technology such as Packet Tracer.
Practical work is an important part of every module, and unless students are already in employment, they'll be encouraged and supported to find a placement for up to 12 weeks, during which they'll work on their independent research project. Middlesex' strong research profile ensures courses remain innovative. They have developed their own WSN, Senso LAB, and have also undertaken notable research in areas such as MIMO, LTE and LTE Advanced.
