A deep appreciation of the importance of software architecture, testing, documentation, and maintainability.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

DEGREE LEVEL 1

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every IT professional, and the basic understanding of programming, problem solving skills, algorithmic skills, mathematical techniques and systems analysis and design. Some specialised modules will provide students with basic knowledge of underlying computer systems such as computer architecture, operating systems, networking and databases. The modules will also help them develop personal and organisational skills, as well as nurture creativity and innovation.

Common Modules	Specialised Modules
Digital Thinking and Innovation Introduction to Management System Analysis & Design Programming with Python Mathematical Concepts for Computing Operating Systems & Computer Architecture Introduction to Networking Introduction to Databases	Introduction to Object Oriented Programming
Elective Modules (Choose 1)
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals of Web Design & Development

DEGREE LEVEL 2

A broader range of skills will be learnt, in which students will gain a better understanding of design paradigms, languages, and algorithms used for developing large-scale and complex software systems. They will gain solid understanding of software lifecycle, and methodologies for specification, design, development, testing, evaluation, analysis and maintenance of software systems. We will further nurture their creativity and innovation as well as independent learning to prepare them for the workplace.

Common Modules	Specialised Modules

INTERNSHIP (16 weeks)

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

DEGREE LEVEL 3

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in the field of software engineering and to refine their personal and professional development. Students will move further into system design methods that help them improve on software design, organisation and maintainability to produce concise and powerful software applications. A final year project requires them to investigate and develop a solution for a real-world problem - they will demonstrate their ability to combine technical knowledge, critical thinking and analytical skills to produce a personal achievement portfolio.
