DEPARTMENT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS – NETWORKS

Introduction

Telecommunications – Networks bring significant value, improving the quality of life through connecting devices to the telecommunications network such as mobile phones, computers, and many IoT devices. This field always needs high-quality human resources to constantly improve techniques, design, operate, and optimize telecommunication-network systems. The Department of Telecommunications – Networks trains students to become outstanding Bachelor of Science to work in Telecommunication-Network Service Providers, Solutions Companies in the design and provide telecommunications networks, or continue their graduate education locally and abroad.
Our department has a staff of highly qualified, well-trained lecturers who are always dedicated to imparting knowledge, skills, and career orientation to students. Lecturers have had many scientific publications, conducted many scientific research projects, and cooperated with businesses.

Undergraduate Program
After basic knowledge of electronics, principles of communication and networking, and programming skills at the foundation knowledge stage, the specialized curriculum of the Department includes closely related majors:
  • Digital, Wireless, and Mobile communication systems: provide knowledge about telecommunications network infrastructure including digital communication, wireless communication, mobile, satellite, digital TV, antenna and wave transmission.
  • Network Technology and Security: provide knowledge about switching, routing, network technologies, network administration, network security, telecommunications networks, optical networks
  • Career skills and new trends in the field of telecommunications-network: telecommunications programming skills, mobile application development, application of machine learning in telecommunications-network, IoT communication technology, internship.
