COURSE CURRICULUM

The Computer Science course offers students a robust and progressive learning journey, beginning in Year 1 with foundational knowledge across hardware, software, and digital systems. Modules such as Computing Systems and Fundamentals of Computer Science introduce the inner workings of computers, operating systems, and networks, while also covering broader concepts like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. Fundamentals of Computer Programming lays the groundwork for writing software, focusing on key concepts such as algorithms, sequence, selection, and iteration. Object-Oriented Programming builds on this by introducing design principles like classes and objects, encapsulation, and inheritance. Students also develop database skills through Fundamentals of Databases, where they learn data modelling and implementation while considering ethical and professional issues. The year concludes with Computer Communications, offering a practical and theoretical understanding of how devices share information across networks, including the use of protocols, security features, and data transmission techniques. In Year 2, the course builds technical expertise and problem-solving capabilities. Software Systems Development introduces more complex programming techniques and professional software development practices. Operating Systems in Practice allows students to engage with the core functions of modern operating systems, giving them experience in supporting and administrating live environments. Computer Network Architectures deepens their understanding of LANs, WLANs, and their components. In Machine Learning Techniques for AI, students explore cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence, learning how to apply machine learning algorithms across various industries. The Team Project module develops collaboration and entrepreneurial skills, requiring students to create and present software solutions in groups. In the final year, students reach an advanced level of competence. Advanced Software Engineering A equips them with high-level programming and design abilities suitable for industry roles. The Production Project serves as a capstone, where students work in teams to design and deliver a complete software product, applying their accumulated skills in a professional, real-world context.
