Study for an MSc via short courses

Overview

There has been a great advance in IP networking protocols and technologies in the recent years. This course introduces and explains in some depth the principles, protocols, technologies, services and standards used for internet networking.

Currently we are planning to run this course face to face. 

Overall an excellent course with fantastic lecturers… A very good overview of IP that has helped put things into context and allowed me to join up some of the key ideas with which I was partly familiar.
