BSc (Hons) Computer Networks Engineering(BSc Computer Networks Engineering)

The University of Northampton’s Computer Networks Engineering course gives you the opportunity to explore different ideas and develop innovative solutions to current issues in the computing industry. This three-year network engineering course will give you an insight into the computing industry, investigating the wide-reaching influences that computers and computing technology have on the world. As you explore these influences, we will help you to find your ideal path for a career in Computing.

IoT Workshop

Computer networking engineering students will have the opportunity to attend the annual UON IoT Workshop with guest speakers and presenters from the local, national and international industry. This is a great opportunity for the students to meet and work with colleagues from different year groups.

Year 1

During your first year of the computer network engineering course, you will study common computer science modules, such as Communication Networks, Computer Systems, Software Engineering Fundamentals, Mathematics for Computer Science, Web Development, Problem Solving & Programming. These modules will help you build a foundation for more advanced topics in subsequent years.

Year 2

In your second year, you will continue your journey with the core Communication Networks Engineering modules such as Computer Communications, Digital Communications, Microprocessors and Internet of Things, Mobile Application Development, Cloud Computing and Bid Data etc. There will also be a group project where you will be a part of a small team; you will be tasked to design and implement a solution of decent quality for a given task. This will help you develop not only technical skills but also key soft skills such as teamwork, effective communication, leadership, etc.

Year 3

In your final year of study, you will further enhance your Computer Networks Engineering knowledge/skills. This will be done by completing high-level modules such as Cloud and Advanced Network Technologies, Cybersecurity and Applied Cryptography and Advanced AI and Applications etc. You are also expected to complete an independent dissertation on a topic of your choice in the field of Computer Science (with some guidance from an assigned supervisor). This benchmarking module will allow you to showcase your overall knowledge/skills learnt from the course.
