Program Name | Semester | Code | Course Name | Description |
Diploma in Information System | 1 | IT233 Both IS & CS | Applied Statistics | Examines important tools for critical thinking, decision making under uncertainty, and quantitative data analysis and applies them in Information Technology decision situations. |
IT244 Both IS & CS | Database Management Systems | Examines database management systems, file processing, data models, query languages, recovery and concurrency, security and integrity, and the development of database using a relational database model. | ||
IT262 | Principles of Management | Introduces important management concepts and theories, covering the basic management functions and other important issues from a practical perspective. It provides a comprehensive and integrated introduction to the process of management in both functional and behavioural aspects. In particular, the course targets the development of human skills? personal, interpersonal and group skills by using a wide range of teaching methods that encourage student participation during tutorials. | ||
WS200 Both IS & CS | Working and Social skills | Provides the appropriate Working and Social Skills for workplaces. | ||
2 | IT235 Both IS & CS | Discrete Mathematics | Iintroduces students to the mathematics of modern computer science which is built almost entirely on discrete math, in particular combinatory and graph theory. This means that in order to learn the fundamental algorithms used by computer programmers, students will need a solid background in these subjects. Discrete mathematics is a required part of pursuing an IT degree. | |
IT245 | Management Information System | Explores information systems; systems analysis including the design, evaluation, and implementation of business systems in general; internal control and control systems; computer-based information systems; and the uses and potential of information systems. | ||
IT256 Both IS & CS | Advanced Programming: Visual Basic. Net | Develops basic understanding of Object-Oriented Programming, and further develop their programming skills and knowledge in Visual Basic.Net and programming using a visual programming environment |
