In a world that’s more connected than ever before, ensuring secure and reliable communication has become one of the most critical priorities across all sectors. The Department of Network Engineering at AIUB steps in right at this intersection—building professionals who are both technically skilled and strategically aware of the digital threats that shape our present and future. The department currently offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Network and Cyber Security degree. Under this degree, department focuses on a wide-ranging curriculum, covering the core foundations of networking, operating systems, and protocols to cutting-edge areas like ethical hacking, digital forensics, network defense mechanisms, cryptography, and cyber law. The programs are continuously updated to reflect the real-time evolution of global cyber and network threats. Students learn not just how systems connect, but how they can be protected. With access to simulation labs, security testing tools, and threat analysis platforms, learners gain real-world exposure in a controlled and collaborative environment that prepares them for the unpredictability of cyber warfare. These labs and learning tools are regularly upgraded to meet the demands of new security standards and advanced networking configurations.

The department is strengthened by a group of highly experienced academicians who bring with them a balance of academic research and industry-led security practice. Mentoring is provided to students in subjects like risk analysis, safe architecture design, penetration testing, cloud and IoT security, and intrusion detection systems. The Department of Network Engineering at AIUB offers the resources, direction, and platform required to thrive in the demanding digital environment, regardless of their career goals- be they network engineers, cybersecurity analysts, or specialists in digital forensics.
