COURSE CURRICULUM

The Diploma in Software Development is a 120-credit program delivered over 32 weeks, designed to provide students with essential technical and practical skills needed for a career in software and application development. The curriculum is structured around three key areas: Web and Cloud Application Development, Business Intelligence and Databases, and an Application Development Project, also known as the Capstone Project. In the Web and Cloud Application Development course, students learn how to create and deploy modern web applications and work with cloud technologies, which are increasingly in demand across the tech industry. The Business Intelligence and Databases course equips students with the skills to design, manage, and analyze databases, helping them understand how data supports business decisions and drives digital solutions.The highlight of the program is the 16-week Application Development Project, which provides valuable real-world experience. This capstone component is either student-initiated or completed in partnership with industry, allowing students to apply their learning to a practical project that solves real problems. Through this experience, students not only deepen their technical skills but also build professional networks and develop a portfolio-ready application to showcase to potential employers. This strong industry connection enhances employability and helps bridge the gap between study and the workplace. By the end of the diploma, students are prepared to step into roles such as software developer, app developer, web or cloud developer, or software engineer. The program ensures that graduates are not only capable coders but also problem-solvers and collaborators, ready to contribute meaningfully to software projects in a variety of environments. It serves as an excellent entry point into the tech industry or as a foundation for further studies in software development.
