Computer Networks (Including Year Abroad) at University of Essex - UCAS

Course summary

Without secure networks, business, commerce and communications would fail. As the infrastructure of technology grows, so does the demand for professionals who can apply advanced knowledge of networking principles and networked applications. Our students are the people who make possible the technology we all use in our daily lives. You combine theoretical and practical study in the mastery of the following areas:

  • Transport protocols, internetworking protocols and network access
  • Ethernet and further IP networking
  • Traffic theory
Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s computer scientists are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. We are home to many of the world’s top scientists, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence. That's why we are ranked 6th in UK for research power in computer science (Times Higher Education research power measure, Research Excellence Framework 2021). You fine-tune your creativity, team-working, and design abilities with the skill and dedication of a professional. Programming at Essex Teaching someone to programme is about opening a door. In your first year at Essex you will study a module that introduces you to programming using C. We assess your ability to think in a programmatic way in the very first week of term and if you require additional support, we offer classes which will boost your skills and confidence with programming.

Many of our courses offer a choice of optional modules to tailor your learning experience. More information about these can be found on the University of Essex website.
