Programme content

A complete view of future communication networks

The programme gives you the possibility to immerse yourself into the challenges, problems and possibilities that future systems of computer communication will bring. The courses deal with issues concerning computer networks, the internet, mobile systems, cloud communications, software defined networks (SDN), user-perceived service quality (QoE), network-based services and research methodology.

Close to research means close to knowledge and insight

The teaching consists of lectures, seminars and both theoretical and practical studies close to research and in contact with researchers – giving you a deep insight and understanding of relevant and updated knowledge within the field. To conclude your studies a degree project is written based on relevant research, scientific articles, and possibly self-made studies.

The programme consists of 120 credits and leads to a two-year Master’s degree.

You will study here

On BTH’s main campus in Karlskrona, you will find our programmes and courses in engineering, IT, spatial planning, industrial economics and health sciences.

Campus Gräsvik in Karlskrona is located right next to the water, and there is even a swimming jetty 50 meters from the lecture halls. From the modern library’s study areas, you have a nice view of the sea and outside there are exercise trails that take you through the woods and along the beach.
