B.Voc in computer skills

In brief

The B.Voc pro­gram in Com­pu­ter Sci­ence (IT Spe­cia­list) is an indus­try-inte­gra­ted cour­se that pre­pa­res stu­dents for suc­cess in the dyna­mic world of infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy. Based on the inter­na­tio­nal­ly reco­gni­zed Swiss dual voca­tio­nal edu­ca­ti­on sys­tem, the pro­gram com­bi­nes aca­de­mic lear­ning with prac­ti­cal indus­try expe­ri­ence.

In the field of IT & Net­wor­king, we offer trai­ning in infor­ma­ti­on sto­rage, pro­ces­sing and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on. Com­pu­ters are now part of ever­y­day life. The ran­ge of infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy is gro­wing at a rapid pace. This includes smart­phones, the Inter­net, medi­cal instru­ments, light­ing tech­no­lo­gy and the use and con­trol of robots and machi­nes. The Facul­ty of Com­pu­ter Sci­ence is also up to date in the field of net­works such as LANs (local), wide area net­works (WANs), intra­nets and extra­nets. The com­ple­xi­ty of the net­work can vary depen­ding on the orga­niza­ti­on. The Facul­ty of Com­pu­ter Sci­ence also offers a doc­to­ral pro­gram in which stu­dents can regis­ter for a doc­to­ra­te in the field of the Inter­net of Things (IoT).

Goals

  • It pro­vi­des stu­dents with in-demand skills in are­as such as cyber­se­cu­ri­ty, cloud com­pu­ting, IoT and more. Gra­dua­tes of this pro­gram are well-posi­tio­ned for a varie­ty of high-growth care­er oppor­tu­ni­ties in the IT sec­tor that offer com­pe­ti­ti­ve sala­ries and the chan­ce to work on cut­ting-edge tech­no­lo­gies.
  • Abili­ty to install, con­fi­gu­re and test CPE (modem, rou­ter and swit­ches) for broad­band access
  • Estab­lish the con­nec­tion bet­ween the CPE and the end device (CPU, com­pu­ter and Smart/IP TV etc.) at the cus­to­mer’s pre­mi­ses
  • Per­form basic trou­ble­shoo­ting to iden­ti­fy, loca­te and rec­ti­fy cable, con­nec­tion and device faults
  • Instal­la­ti­on, con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and test­ing of Wi-Fi devices and Wi-Fi access points for broad­band access
  • Estab­li­shing a con­nec­tion bet­ween Wi-Fi nodes and access points at mul­ti­ple loca­ti­ons
  • Imple­men­ta­ti­on, main­ten­an­ce and inte­gra­ti­on of WAN, LAN and ser­ver archi­tec­tures
  • Imple­men­ta­ti­on and manage­ment of net­work secu­ri­ty hard­ware and soft­ware
  • Enforce net­work secu­ri­ty poli­ci­es and com­ply with the requi­re­ments of exter­nal secu­ri­ty audits and recom­men­da­ti­ons

Duration and admission criteria

  • 3 years
  • 10+2 (pre­fer­a­b­ly PCM) or
  • 2 years ITI after 10th gra­de or equi­va­lent or
  • Diplo­ma hol­ders who are entit­led to late­ral ent­ry

Degrees

  • Cer­ti­fi­ca­te (6 months)
  • Diplo­ma (1 year)
  • Advan­ced diplo­ma (2 years)
  • Bache­lor’s degree in voca­tio­nal trai­ning (3 years)
  • PhD (3 years wit­hout Bache­lor)

    Ent­ry and exit pos­si­ble after each semes­ter

Career opportunities for computer scientists

  • Net­work spe­cia­lists or net­work ser­vice tech­ni­ci­ans focus on the set­up, trou­ble­shoo­ting and repair of spe­ci­fic hard­ware and soft­ware pro­ducts. Ser­vice tech­ni­ci­ans in par­ti­cu­lar can often tra­vel to remo­te cus­to­mer loca­ti­ons to per­form on-site upgrades and sup­port.
  • Net­work admi­nis­tra­tors focus on the day-to-day manage­ment of net­works.
  • Net­work engi­neers focus pri­ma­ri­ly on sys­tem upgrades, eva­lua­ting ven­dor pro­ducts and secu­ri­ty test­ing.
  • Net­work ana­lysts and pro­gramm­ers wri­te soft­ware pro­grams or scripts that help with net­work ana­ly­sis. The­se include, for exam­p­le, dia­gno­stic or moni­to­ring pro­grams. They also spe­cia­li­ze in eva­lua­ting third-par­ty pro­ducts and inte­gra­ting new soft­ware tech­no­lo­gies into an exis­ting net­work envi­ron­ment or set­ting them up in a new envi­ron­ment.
  • Net­work mana­gers over­see the work of admi­nis­tra­tors, engi­neers, tech­ni­ci­ans and/or pro­gramm­ers and focus on lon­ger-term plan­ning and stra­tegy con­side­ra­ti­ons.
  • Net­work archi­tects trans­la­te requi­re­ments crea­ted by func­tion­al ana­lysts into the archi­tec­tu­re of the solu­ti­on. They descri­be the­se through archi­tec­tu­re and design arti­facts.

Infrastructure and equipment for computer scientists

The Facul­ty of Com­pu­ter Sci­ence curr­ent­ly has the fol­lo­wing labo­ra­to­ries and asso­cia­ted equip­ment:

Com­pu­ter rooms: On the one hand, the­re is a com­pu­ter room with 30 desk­top com­pu­ters (Intel i3 pro­ces­sors, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 19″ moni­tors). On the other hand, the­re are three other rooms on cam­pus that cover the com­pu­ter needs of all stu­dents.

CISCO Net­wor­king Lab: This lab con­sists of rack-moun­ted rou­ters, L2 and L3 swit­ches, modems, fire­walls, wire­less devices, access points, fiber optic cables and net­work simu­la­tors. Stu­dents gain prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence with net­work hard­ware and soft­ware in this lab.

3D prin­ting lab: It has nine 3D prin­ters, four of which are of the SLA type and five of the FDM type. Various mate­ri­als such as ABS, PLA, nylon, wood and PETG can be used. Trai­ning cour­ses are offe­red here on an ongo­ing basis.

Rese­arch & Deve­lo­p­ment Lab: This lab is used for the design and imple­men­ta­ti­on of embedded sys­tems and Inter­net of Things pro­jects, such as:

  • Water level indi­ca­tor
  • Smart­phone-con­trol­led house­hold appli­ances
  • Voice-con­trol­led robo­tic vehic­les
  • Ardui­no-based digi­tal clock + RH dis­play
  • Edge Fol­lower robot
