The general aims of the course reflect the overall aims of all undergraduate and postgraduate departmental provision by providing courses of recognised quality that reflect staff expertise and which offer students flexibility of choice.

This course aims to enable students to:

• Respond to current academic challenges for computing and networking and meet industrial needs for performance engineering.
  
  
• Provide a high academic quality-of-service to students covering both theoretical and practical aspects of computing and networking.
  
  
• To equip themselves with knowledge, skills and understanding, at an advanced level within the chosen field of study.

On completion of the course the successful students will be able to achieve mastery of Networks and Performance Engineering by demonstrating:

• Understanding and knowledge at advanced level of core computing and networking subjects including computer and networking architectures, software systems development & protocols.
  
  
• The ability to participate competently in advanced performance engineering group projects.
  
  
• Specialist understanding of and ability in analytic and simulation modelling techniques with applications to the performance/reliability modelling and evaluation of discrete flow systems such as computers, high speed networks, flexible manufacturing systems and highway/railway/airway networks.
