Many top international researchers and developers are successful by often exploring and moving to new areas beyond their past as well as existing research area. These researchers and developers need to be able to change to fields of new interest and explore areas of importance to Africa and beyond. The\u00a0 MEng\u00a0(Telecom)\u00a0offers a\u00a0 selection\u00a0 of\u00a0 courses aimed to provide support for this global trend. This approach is planned to enable the\u00a0student\u00a0to\u00a0be agile\u00a0in response\u00a0to\u00a0new knowledge and novel developments.<\/p>\n<p>Africa is viewed as the emerging telecommunications market and in that context it needs to grow its own expertise in designing state-of-the-art infrastructure, systems, services and applications that serve the needs of both domestic and global markets. The course offered in this programme are designed to be cognisant of appropriate solutions for the African continent, as well as giving students a more global perspective and understanding of the technologies concerned. This taught masters programme has been designed around an overarching objective of contributing towards steering Africa away from being a net consumer, and rather towards becoming a net producer; a producer of information and communication technology products. This can be achieved by teaching rigorous theoretical fundamentals combined with practical grounding in large systems and network design in the telecommunications field.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.students.uct.ac.za\/students\/applications\/apply\/forms\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE TO APPLY ONLINE<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>CONTACT US<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about or want more information about admissions and the registration process then please contact:<\/p>\n<p><b>Name<\/b>:\u00a0Nicole Moodley<br \/>\nAdministrative\u00a0Assistant (Postgraduate)<br \/>\n<strong>Address<\/strong>: Department of Electrical Engineering University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3 Rondebosch 7701<br \/>\n<strong>E-mail:<\/strong> <span class=\"contentLine-75\">nicole.moodley@uct.ac.za<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about the programme\u00a0in particular then please contact:<\/p>\n<p><b>Name<\/b>: A\/Prof.\u00a0Olabisi Falowo<br \/>\nProgramme Convenor, MEng (Telecom)<br \/>\n<strong>Address<\/strong>: Department of Electrical Engineering University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3 Rondebosch 7701<br \/>\n<strong>E-mail:<\/strong>\u00a0<a id=\"MainContent_HL_Email\" href=\"mailto:olabisi.falowo@uct.ac.za\">olabisi.falowo@uct.ac.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telecommunication\u00a0 has\u00a0 been\u00a0 rapidly\u00a0 undergoing\u00a0 many\u00a0 new\u00a0 developments\u00a0 globally.\u00a0 The\u00a0 global\u00a0 trend\u00a0 is\u00a0 for\u00a0 the international\u00a0 researchers\u00a0 and\u00a0 developers\u00a0 to\u00a0 rapidly\u00a0 learn\u00a0 the\u00a0 important\u00a0 changes\u00a0 in\u00a0 broader areas\u00a0 than\u00a0 one\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-219","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
