Electronic & Computer Technology

The world we inhabit is on the cusp of an extraordinary transformation, one driven by the rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things. This revolutionary concept envisions a future where everyday objects, from household appliances to personal devices, are seamlessly connected to the digital realm, enabling a seamless integration of the physical and virtual realms. By 2030, it is projected that there will be 50 billion IoT devices globally, a testament to the profound impact IoT will have on our lives.



This imminent reality invites us to explore the vast potential of a hyper-connected world, where innovation, intelligence and impact converge to shape the future of technology. The IoT ecosystem holds the promise of revolutionising various domains, from agriculture to healthcare, empowering us to create innovative solutions that cater to the needs of an increasingly interconnected society.



At the core of this transformative journey lies the need to develop a strong foundation in the principles and technologies that underpin the IoT. By delving into both the theoretical and practical aspects of IoT, we can equip you with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of this ever-evolving landscape, driven by the convergence of sensing, hardware, machine learning and networked systems.



You can study modules including Data Analysis and Machine Learning, Security for IoT projects, Blockchain Scalability, Connected Embedded Systems, Network Stack Implementation and more. At the end of the course you will complete an IoT project in which you can showcase your new skills and knowledge.
