This course provides students with advanced knowledge of computer hardware, network, and infrastructure. Students will obtain in-depth knowledge and practical experience in installation, configuration and troubleshooting for computer and network systems.
The course introduces students to the fundamental and technical aspects of cloud computing, its benefits, applications, business and delivery models. Students will discuss the impact of cloud computing on IT service management, and the risks and consequences of using cloud in business while considering professional and cultural aspects informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi, tikanga, Te Ao Māori, and Mātauranga Māori.
The course will give an overview of the fundamental concepts in mobile wireless systems and mobile computing. Students will analyse, investigate, evaluate and propose solutions to a real-life problem. The course provides the students with an opportunity to obtain experience in applied research, academic writing and presenting their work.
In this course students will learn about the Internet of Things (IoT), its applications, challengesand relationship with the Cloud. The course begins by exploring the opportunities for IoT and the concepts behind the IoT. Students will be provided with the knowledge and skills required to create an IoT application involving a Cloud platform.
This course will introduce students to the current trends and issues related to computer, network, and cloud security. The course covers both computer security (including such topics as security policies, access control, malwares, etc.) and network and cloud security, along with some relevant background in basic cryptography.
This course gives students an in-depth understanding of network design, management, and associated technologies. It provides students with the knowledge and ability to analyse and resolve problems and monitor performance of a local area network as well as a cloud-based computer network. It further examines how to efficiently use different techniques to capture and analyse network and system data to create a competitive advantage.
Internship:
(not available for offshore International students)
An internship will provide students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in a real-world environment. This internship is an elective, which means you can choose this as a field of study, or you can choose instead to do complete the industry-based project.
Industry-based Project:
A capstone project is the final course in the programme to enable students to meet the requirements for this qualification. The project will be in the context of network and cloud technology and will follow appropriate industry standards and principles. The industry project course is based on real work situations, and consequently prepares students for their future career. The course establishes a connection between the theories that students have learnt throughout the programme with real life problems and practices.
