This full and part-time course includes placement experience when possible. If you have previously studied computing at university or who are currently working in the sector, and looking to develop an advanced knowledge of the subject, this course is for you. We teach modules which are a combination of computer networks theory, management and security. You'll develop the knowledge and expertise to model, monitor and analyse networks in various situations, simulating performance and availability to configure them for optimum performance. In addition to this, you will also improve your mathematical, problem-solving, communication, and critical skills. Why study MSc Network Management and Cloud Computing at Middlesex? As well as in-depth knowledge and practical experience of computer communications and networking, our course will provide you with many transferable skills. It will improve your research, data collection and interpretation, mathematical, communication, problem-solving, presentation and critical skills, as well as your confidence and ability to work under your own initiative while managing your own time. Other benefits you'll gain by joining us on this course include: - The opportunity to gain practical experience in our industry-standard networking labs - A chance to explore new concepts and developments - three of our previous students were crowned winners at the Young Professional Engineering Challenge. - You'll also have the opportunity to work in a laboratory on security configuration for various systems. What will you learn? This course gives you an in-depth understanding of computer network design, implementation and optimisation. You'll study cloud-based networks and explore modern data centres, virtualisation and distributed storage. Network design and construction, programming and operating systems as well as network troubleshooting in a business environment will also be covered. We'll study network systems and services, computer networks, wireless and mobile communication systems, network management, security and disaster recovery, and web-based information systems management. For your final dissertation you can work on a problem solving project of topical interest to you and of relevance to the industry. This module therefore fully equips students to immediately obtain significant roles in industry as well as being able to pursue further study. This course offers an optional 12-month long placements which are opportunities to gain professional experience in Network Management and Cloud Computing in an industrial or institutional setting.
