Think about what happens when you send a message to a friend, watch a video online, access a cloud service, attend an online meeting, or browse a website. Behind these everyday activities lies a complex network of devices, protocols, communication technologies, and routing mechanisms working together to deliver information from one place to another.

Welcome to the world of Advanced Networks!

Throughout this course, you will explore what happens behind the scenes of modern communication networks. You will progressively move from the fundamental concepts of computer networks to more advanced topics such as IP addressing, dynamic routing, transport protocols, Quality of Service (QoS), Wide Area Networks (WAN), and mobile networks.

But this course is not only about learning definitions and protocols. You will also be encouraged to analyze how networks operate, solve networking problems, configure network devices, and apply your knowledge to practical situations.

Through lectures, guided exercises, practical laboratory sessions, quizzes, and Moodle-based learning activities, you will develop both your theoretical understanding and your practical networking skills.

From Theory to Practice

The course follows a progressive learning approach:

Learn β†’ Understand β†’ Analyze β†’ Practice β†’ Apply

You will not only study how networking technologies work, but also put your knowledge into practice through exercises and network simulations using tools such as Cisco Packet Tracer.

By the end of the course, you should be better prepared to understand, analyze, configure, and troubleshoot computer networks and to appreciate the technologies that make today's connected world possible.
