MASTER IN :
INFORMATION SYSTEM AND NETWORKING
MSc in Information Systems and Networking
At the beating heart of the connected world — the networks, wireless systems and communication infrastructures that power everything from mobile banking and telemedicine to smart cities and global commerce. This program transforms IT professionals into network architects and infrastructure leaders.
Program objectives
This program is engineered to produce specialists who master both the science and the strategy of modern networking. You will advance from strong programming and web foundations into multimedia networking, the design and development of wireless networks, communication software and middleware, and the rigorous design and analysis of complex network systems. Courses in network security, digital forensics, and the management of enterprise networks and operating systems build defensive depth, while IT project management and a university-wide focus on business innovation and entrepreneurship prepare you to lead teams, budgets and ventures — not just configurations.
Learning outcomes
Architect and deploy enterprise networks
Wired and wireless, at the scale organisations actually run.
Evaluate and optimize performance
Measure it before you claim it improved.
Integrate communication middleware
Across distributed platforms that were never meant to talk.
Secure infrastructure against evolving threats
And investigate with professional forensic rigor.
Manage LAN and WAN at scale
Enterprise networks and the operating systems under them.
Lead teams, budgets and ventures
IT project management and your own defended business plan.
Integration in society
Every digital service society relies on — hospitals exchanging patient records, banks processing mobile payments, schools delivering online classes — runs on networks designed and defended by professionals like you. Across Africa, network specialists are the builders of digital inclusion: extending connectivity to underserved communities, enabling e-government, and laying the rails for the continent's startup revolution.
Africa's internet economy is projected to contribute $180 billion to GDP by 2025 and as much as $712 billion by 2050.
Employment opportunities and careers
Demand for advanced networking talent remains robust worldwide. Employment of computer network architects is projected to grow 12% through 2034 — much faster than average — while cloud-related infrastructure roles generate more than 300,000 openings every year in the United States alone. Employers now prize exactly the hybrid profile this program builds: engineers who bridge networking, cloud and security.
Build the networks that connect a continent
Offered online or on campus, in English or French, with Fall, Spring and Summer intakes. Your gateway to leadership in the infrastructure of the digital age — and a career that cannot be outsourced.
