Security Administration

This module introduces students to the fundamental concepts with hands-on practice of how to administer, configure and update security programmes and mechanisms, including the application of system patches to ensure that enterprise assets are adequately protected against threats. This also includes the authorisation, management, and monitoring of access control permissions and/or rights to various IT facilities.

Security Architecture

This module introduces students to design security architectures and controls; either introducing security principles into the design of architectures to mitigate the risks posed by new technologies and business practices, or the actual design and specification of applicable security components, along with the incidental control measures, to meet defined business security needs.

Cloud Computing

This module provides students with a detailed and essential foundation in cloud computing. Cloud computing is the up and rising technology that will be considered critical in today’s business world. This introductory module to cloud computing describes and explains fundamental aspects of cloud computing concepts, models, technologies, and applications.

Web Technologies

This module provides students with practical skills to examine, translate complex software ideas and concepts into a web application and establish key design principles and methodologies. Students can select and use appropriate tools and techniques with which to design, build, implement, and test a web application. This module also provides the opportunity to gain work skills to be able to provide professional documentation for the web pages produced.

Computer Systems & Networks

This module focuses on fundamental computer architecture, network fundamentals, protocols, and models. This module introduces the categories of the network functions, evaluates, and justifies networks, and device performance using the OSI model and the most widely used TCP/IP protocol suite.

Software Development

This module provides students with technical skills, communication skills, to develop applications by coding, testing, debugging, documenting, and reviewing in accordance with object-oriented programming standards for development and security. 

The module focuses on programming fundamentals such as introduction to computers and object-oriented programming, basic computation, variables, control structures, arrays, and the procedural programming methodology. It then progresses to introduce the object-oriented programming concepts of objects, classes, and inheritance.

Maths for Computing

This module introduces the basic concept of quantitative approaches to computing mathematics. This module will help students to attain essential knowledge in mathematical concepts and skills that are required for the study and application of computer science.

​

Information Systems Modelling & Design

This module develops the skills and techniques required for creating an overall plan for the design of software, design of functional specifications based on user and business requirements incorporating various controls, functionality, and interoperability of different elements into designing an information system, modeling which describes the overall architecture in software, databases, hardware, and third-party frameworks that the software will use or interact with. It also covers some of the key legal, social, ethical, and professional issues relating to information systems development.
