Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons.) Data Communications and Networking

(R2/481/6/0440) 08/24 (A5313)

Data Communications and Networking graduates are expected to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to design, build, maintain and manage network and communication systems in any organisation. Therefore, they will be learning core components of communication, such as Internet Computing, TCP/IP Programming, High-Speed Networks, Client Server Computing and Real Time Systems.

Ultimately, we expect our Data Communications and Networking graduates to branch into areas of communication and apply the knowledge they have acquired in network technology and telecommunications.
