It’s always a good thing to see a major institutions adopting the latest technology. As a matter of fact it’s even better when that institution is a famous university, which can help spread the knowledge to the younger generations. That being said, we’ve spotted the University of Oxford adding interesting mobile-related, emerging technologies courses. Among the courses there are “Mobile Social Networking”, “Market Success of 3G and Wireless Mobile Services” and “Mobile Web 2.0 and IMS : User Generated Content (from a telecoms / infrastructure perspective).” Nicely done Oxford, it’s time for other universities to follow.
NOTE: Neither of the courses is cheap — it’s THE Oxford after all — but if you want to get in the industry, it’s certainly worth every penny…
