Not to be presumptuous but if you're starting the program, shouldn't you know something about it? :confused2

I agree with Uncle Leo, don't just start some random program cause it has "computer" in the name. I know some people who have done that, and it often doesn't work.

MSc Computer Networks is about the design, implementation and configuration of computer networks and is ideal if you have a technological background. The programme has a methodological approach for dealing with the continuous appraisal of a communication system and the implementation of improvements. It provides you with:

* An awareness of the relationship between the business objectives and the IT infrastructure of an organisation
* The skills to analyse any given communication system critically in the light of current technological developments
* The ability to make a functional and technical design of a communication system based on project goals, company standards and quality systems and to implement network security
* Programming skills for computer networks.

This seems farily bogus to me in that they mention no technical words at all. When you choose a program, you want to know what technology you'll be working with, so that at the very least you know if it's Windows networking or Linux/Unix/whatever.

Also, maybe it's just me but whenever they mention "security", I see you messing with firewalls and standard "security" equipment, rather than understanding what it means.
