Each module contains 3 ECTS. You choose a total of 10 modules/30 ECTS in the following module categories:
- 12-15 ECTS in technical scientific modules (TSM)
TSM modules teach profile-specific specialist skills and supplement the decentralised specialisation modules. - 9-12 ECTS in fundamental theoretical principles modules (FTP)
FTP modules deal with theoretical fundamentals such as higher mathematics, physics, information theory, chemistry, etc. They will teach more detailed, abstract scientific knowledge and help you to bridge the gap between abstraction and application that is so important for innovation. - 6-9 ECTS in context modules (CM)
CM modules will impart additional skills in areas such as technology management, business administration, communication, project management, patent law, contract law, etc.

The new trend in multimedia and communication requires new paradigms in terms of both mobility and security. This module gives an overview of teh classical network architectures, the new techniques which took advantace of the latest findings in term of technologies and algorithms.
The modul will present the latest technologies and the scientific background to the main topics like:
- Mobility and virtualization of IP networks
- Self organizing networks
- Next Generation Networks
Presentation of real, representative infrastructures offering high complexity, performances and service level.
Prerequisites
Internet protocols
Basic concepts of networking protocols.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, the student has the following knowledge:
- the new architectures and trends in the IP networks
- ability to describe the main features of each of these architectures and to compare them with each other
- characteristics of mobility systems and their impact on networking architectures
- ability to participate in the planning, development and operation of innovative networking infrastructures.
