Fields of study available
Computer Science
Computer Science spans a wide range, from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments. Computer Science offers a comprehensive foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and ideas.
As such smart devices have dominated the landscape of computing since the last few years. With more and more smart devices thatbehave like a mini computer in the markets nowadays, in keeping up with the demand for their applications, many software houses are looking towards building APPs. It will fulfill the current market demand for these specialised APP programmers.
Mobile Computing
This field of study will help students understand how basic computer networks and mobile applications work, as well as the technology behind wired and wireless networks. Skills developed include computer network design, correcting network problems, network security preventions, network management techniques and mobile programming for smart phones.
Network and Security
Companies are spending a lot of resources to protect their data and networks. This specialisation will enable students to protect network systems from theft, hacker attacks and breaches in network security.
Software Development
Students will learn to design, implement and document quality software systems in appropriate languages for available computers. This includes the ability to design software that makes effective use of the hardware. They will also gain a clear understanding of organisational structures, along with the information needs and consequent systems requirements of an organisation.
Business Analytics
Business Analytics is the process of converting data into insights. With the increase in the availability of data, Analytics has now become a major differentiator in both the top line and the bottom line of any organisation. The specialisation in Business Analytics teaches the use of data and models to support decision making in business. Students learn how to model such relationships as the impact of advertising on sales, how historical data predict stock returns, and how changes in task characteristics can influence time to completion. This programme helps prepare students for careers in “economy of tomorrow” industries. They play a vital role in their organisations’ technological direction. In an IT end-user industry, Business Analytics and Optimisation (BAO) responsibilities can reside in various corporate functions and departments, such as operations, product development, information ystems and finance.
For IT consulting/services and IT products organisations, the BAO consultants lead large-scale data warehousing and business intelligence projects, advising large clients the world over in reshaping their businesses.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is one of the most exciting areas in IT today. Cloud computing is used by many businesses whose employees and customers are able to access their data with a myriad of Internet-connected devices. Therefore, these businesses do not have to build and run their own data centres, which can be very costly. The Cloud Computing and Virtualization specialisation prepares students to understand the emerging technologies of cloud computing and virtualization, their principles, modelling, analysis, design, deployment and industry-oriented applications. Major solution architectures and enabling technologies are covered.
The Cloud Computing programme prepares students to understand the:
• Emerging technologies of Cloud Computing and Virtualization
• Principles, modeling, analysis, design, deployment, and industry-oriented applications
• Major solution architectures and enabling technologies
• Development of applications and services
