About Master of Science - Mobile Networks and Media Streaming (Professional Placement)
The recent evolution of Internet services, with video representing more than 80 per cent of the data traffic, and the growth of on-demand video streaming (as offered by YouTube, Netflix, Amazon) and live streaming (as offered by Facebook, Twitch, etc.) require new professional roles. The aim of this course is to provide practically based education and training for students seeking employment in the areas of networking, media streaming, and wireless communications. The course offers students the opportunity to develop their skills in networking, media streaming and wireless communications and relevant security aspects, preparing them for a career in this fast-growing and exciting area, which spans virtually all areas of wireless, networking, and media communications.
The MSc Course in Mobile Networks and Media Streaming will address both areas above and the graduates will be able to apply for jobs in the wide market opened by such evolution.
The wireless multimedia and networking (WMN) research group at Kingston is at the forefront in this area, participating in national and international projects in collaboration with key industry stakeholders. Kingston University has dedicated equipment and laboratories which include test LAN/WLAN with a diverse range of platforms and equipment, including several types of wireless networks and enterprise scale networking technologies, and also equipment for testing Internet of Things communication and a 5G/mobile edge computing testbed.
Kingston University allow students to take the option of a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. Students may find securing a professional placement difficult as they are highly competitive and challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding. It is very important for students to prepare and apply themselves if this is the route they wish to take. Employers look for great written and oral communication skills and an excellent CV/portfolio. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa. Students progress to roles such as video streaming engineer/video streaming manager, wireless software engineer, communications lead and security consultant.
