"summary": "From the office to your home and car, computer networks are at the heart of modern information systems and there is a growing need for experts who understand how these systems work. This course focuses on the technical aspects of installation and configuration; systems administration; and maintenance and management. You develop strong technical skills and a thorough understanding of how to manage networks; implement through design; and manage the needs of clients and businesses. \n\n**Foundation Year**\nIn the Foundation year you will study three days per week. The focus will be on academic writing skills and numeracy, plus subject-specific content to fully prepare you for entry to an Undergraduate degree. It provides a balance between content related to your chosen subject and the range of wider skills required for undergraduate study. This is an integrated four-year degree, with the foundation year as a key part of the course. You will be required to pass the foundation year in order to progress to the first year of your degree. This course is ideal for those who do not meet our standard entry requirements or those with a non-standard educational background. It will allow you to graduate with a full undergraduate degree in your chosen subject in four years.\n\n**Course Accreditation/Industry Endorsement**\n- This course is fully accredited by the British Computer Society (BSC), the chartered institute for IT, meaning you qualify for chartered IT professional status once you graduate. \n\n**Facilities and Specialist Equipment**\n- High-tech CCNA Academy computer networking suite. \n\n\n- Specialised IT security laboratory. \n\n\n- Cutting-edge technology such as MATLAB software and resources from Oracle database. \n\n\n- Modern, purpose-built STEM building with bespoke learning spaces and group study hubs.\n\n\n**Your Student Experience**\n- Our unique blend of theoretical and hands-on work keeps you up to date with state-of-the-art technologies. \n\n\n- Challenge yourself in our dedicated test network laboratory using the latest industry-standard programs. \n\n\n- Alongside your degree, take the opportunity to study for the AWS Cloud Foundation certification, making your qualification even more relevant to a range of employers. \n\n\n- Get involved in field trips to leading sites such as Bletchley Park to see your subject in action. \n\n\n- Learn from academics with up-to-the-minute accreditations and certifications as well as working on real-world projects and undertaking consultancy work. \n\n\n- Be guided by our dedicated academic success tutors, there to support you through your studies.\n",
