About this course
This programme prepares graduates for careers with major network operators, and is suitable for
those who are aiming to work in the telecommunications manufacturing business, or in research
and development organisations. Some jobs include Telecommunications Analyst, Fiber
Engineer, Telecommunications Engineer, Network and Telecom Engineer, Network Engineer
Planner, Senior Broadcast Engineer, Manager, Assistant Director or Director of an engineering
school in higher education. In addition, there are openings in education, in both teaching and
research. The solid base that the programme provides can lead to research work either through
an MPhil programme or to study for a PhD.
