The Degree of MSc (Internetworking) [Graduate]


Program Requirements


This is a course-based program that requires the completion of ★30 in graduate-level course work, including six core courses and three electives. One of the core courses is a ★6 capping project. The core courses are scheduled regularly, and are conducted in intensive evening / weekend format. Elective courses are scheduled according to instructor availability, and follow the same intensive format. The weekend format of the MINT courses means that students can typically only register in a total of ★6 per term. Students wishing to maintain full-time status must register in at least ★9 per term. This can be reached by enrolling in, and successfully completing, one optional course per term outside the MINT program. Such optional courses cannot take the place of any of the six MINT core courses or three required electives. They may, however, be used to strengthen technical foundations or pursue other areas of interest. Optional courses from outside the MINT program will be included when calculating the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.7. Any optional courses in which a failing grade is obtained must be retaken or replaced with an approved alternate course (see Failure in or Failure to Complete a Course or Research Work ). In addition, graduation requires a minimum 2.7 GPA on all MINT courses credited towards the degree.

Students must maintain standards acceptable to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research to remain in the program. While there is no full time residency requirement, the program must be completed within six years from admission.

Length of Program


Core courses are scheduled to permit completion of the degree by part-time study within two academic years.
