COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Telecommunications and Information Security (MTIS) at the University of Victoria is a structured, course-based graduate program designed to build advanced expertise in communication networks, cybersecurity, and information systems. The program requires students to complete a set of core courses that provide a strong foundation in key areas of the field, including design and analysis of computer communication networks, advanced network security, computer forensics methodologies, and a capstone project that applies theoretical knowledge to a practical engineering problem. In addition to core requirements, students complete professional development courses that enhance career readiness and communication skills. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to elective courses, allowing students to specialize further in areas such as cryptography, digital communications, wireless systems, information theory, cybersecurity, data analytics, and network traffic management. These electives are selected from approved lists and ensure flexibility while maintaining academic rigor. Some selected topics courses and directed studies options may also be included with approval, allowing students to explore emerging or specialized areas in greater depth. The program emphasizes applied learning and industry relevance rather than thesis-based research. Overall, the MTIS MEng prepares graduates for professional roles in cybersecurity, telecommunications, and information technology by combining technical coursework, applied projects, and professional skill development.
