Industrial Networking
Factory networks are different from office networks. This programme covers the protocols, hardware and security practices that keep industrial communications reliable and safe.
About this field
Industrial networking connects everything on the factory floor — PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors and enterprise systems. It uses specific protocols (Modbus, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET) and demands reliability, low latency and deterministic communication. This programme teaches you to design, install and troubleshoot industrial networks with proper segmentation, redundancy and cybersecurity.
Roles you'll be ready for
What you'll be able to do
Real builds, not slideware
Configure a Modbus RTU network with a master PLC and five slave devices, verify data exchange and diagnose communication faults.
Design and implement VLAN segmentation between office IT and shop-floor OT networks using managed industrial switches.
Set up a gateway that bridges Modbus TCP devices to an EtherNet/IP network, validating data integrity in both directions.

A springboard to a Master's degree in Europe
For a lot of people, Veritas is just step one. The hands-on, globally-recognised experience makes your profile stronger if you want to study abroad later — and these happen to be the exact skills European employers are short on.
Automation, robotics, semiconductors, EV, Industry 4.0 — these skills are in real demand across Europe right now.
Pearson-aligned learning that complements an international application.*
Add advanced tracks before applying abroad.
Industry certifications that travel internationally.
* Study-abroad outcomes depend on admissions, language, funding and visas, which Veritas does not control. Confirm guidance and any partnerships, and verify demand claims, before publishing.
