Course Overview

The BSc in Network Infrastructure Engineering is a UK Level 6 honours degree running across three years full-time with part-time and accelerated routes available, delivered on-campus in central London, fully online or by distance learning. It is designed for learners entering network infrastructure engineering through a UK-recognised route, and it is calibrated around designing, deploying and operating enterprise and service-provider networks across UK sectors. The programme is aligned with the standards of (ISC)2, ISACA, CREST, IISP, the NCSC-linked CIISec and the IET, and it feeds directly into UK graduate schemes and LSCE postgraduate progression.

By the end of the programme you will hold a working portfolio in network infrastructure engineering, produced through structured coursework, applied projects and continuous tutor feedback. You will be able to explain and defend your decisions in front of UK sector reviewers, work confidently with the tooling used across UK employers, and step into the next stage of your career or study with an evidence base rather than a bare transcript that is recognised by UK academic and professional bodies.

Key Features

The BSc in Network Infrastructure Engineering sits at the corresponding UK level and is structured tightly around designing, deploying and operating enterprise and service-provider networks across UK sectors, with each teaching block anchored in a substantive artefact rather than an examination alone.
Curriculum aligned with the standards of (ISC)2, ISACA, CREST, IISP, the NCSC-linked CIISec and the IET, refreshed each year against sector guidance and UK employer expectations in network infrastructure engineering.
Applied labs and coursework use Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Ansible, NetBox, Wireshark, GNS3 and observability stacks throughout the taught stage, with realistic problems set from live UK working practice.
Weekly tutor-visible seminars led by working London practitioners in network infrastructure engineering, so the working vocabulary matches what you will use in a UK role.
A named programme tutor is available for one-to-one clinics, feedback and career coaching across every teaching block of the programme.
Three delivery modes share the same intake cohort, seminars and assessment brief, so mode of study is never a barrier to full participation in network infrastructure engineering discussion.
Structured writing, documentation and review workshops embedded across the programme, so evidence of network infrastructure engineering practice is produced continuously across every stage.

Why Study at LSCE

LSCE is the specialist computing and engineering division of Harold International College of London, teaching in small tutor-visible cohorts and partnering with (ISC)2, ISACA, CREST, IISP, the NCSC-linked CIISec and the IET so qualifications carry weight with UK employers. London hosts the National Cyber Security Centre, CREST-registered testing firms, the City security teams and defence-adjacent consultancies, all within a short tube ride of the campus.

Students on the BSc in Network Infrastructure Engineering routinely attend BSides London, CREST forums, IISP chapter events and NCSC-hosted talks during their studies, and choose from on-campus, fully online with lab or GPU provisioning, or distance learning with the same remote provisioning. Every route joins the same intake cohort with weekly tutor visibility, a named programme tutor and warm careers-service introductions across UK cyber security, digital forensics and network-engineering employers.
