In the Networks and Security major you study the basics and infrastructure of networking, and learn to configure, implement and analyse network devices. This includes information network administration and network security to an advanced level. Information is often an organisation’s most precious asset – but it’s also one of its most vulnerable assets. New information security threats and attacks are constantly developing and the only solution is to develop increasingly secure networks. That’s why networks and security are areas that are universally important. This major focuses on practical projects where you apply your knowledge to implement networks and secure systems.
