The use of mobile telephony and the Internet continues to transform our social and business lives. Global data networks enable us to communicate via text messages, voice or video, to access and exchange information and to transact business securely. These networks provide the links between computer systems or specialised computing devices. In order to maximise the benefits of this blending of communications and computing technologies, organisations are increasingly reliant on access to a new range of engineering development skills. Given the level of demand, such skills are in short-supply and this programme addresses the need to provide appropriate, key, technical professionals and offers the prospect of valuable career opportunities.

This programme provides graduates with a wide range of satisfying and well-paid professional career opportunities both in industry and in the wider economy. Initially, graduates may typically be expected to take up employment as communications, network, software or computer engineers.
