The course explores how software systems embedded in our everyday environments, connect every day objects and makes them smart. This ranges from mobile social networking to managing city resources such as road traffic. Dealing with such large-scale, cyber-physical and distributed systems requires novel approaches that address timeliness, safety, privacy and scale challenges. The course equips students with the skills and knowledge to tackle such challenges and take up careers in Computer Networking, Software Engineering and related fields, which have transformed society over the past 30 years and continue to enable new advances from Social Networking through the Internet of Things to Cloud Computing.

 

Is This Course For Me?

This course is designed for graduates from a computing or closely related undergraduate background. Candidates with a good undergraduate Honours degree in disciplines such as engineering, mathematics, or statistics are also encouraged to apply, if they have acquired good programming skills. Candidates will be required to provide evidence of their computing skills and experience.
