Modules Covered

• Algorithms And Advanced Data Structure
  • The module focuses on Algorithm design techniques; understanding and implementation of efficient data structures. It covers topics such as complexity analysis, data structures, algorithm design techniques, as well as the tractability of problems.
• Computer Networks
  • A study of the fundamental concepts of computer networking and the problems experienced in their design and implementation. Various goals of such systems are discussed and placed into the context of local and wide-area networking. The nature and types of communications protocols typically found in modern computer networks are also studied in some depth.
• Database Design
  • This module builds on the knowledge of various software engineering techniques, programming skills and file organisation to demonstrate the role of databases in contemporary computing. 
• Information Systems Design
  • The principles, methods and techniques of information system design and implementation including the following aspects: architectural styles of information systems and their relationship to quality, roles of various types software components, including legacy subsystems, in information systems and their key features etc.
• Internet Commerce Technology
  • An investigation into the technology required to support business activities conducted on the Internet. The module will emphasise the functional requirements of Internet businesses, and illustrate principles for implementing such systems using appropriate technology.
• Project
  • An extended study of a topic selected from a suitable area common to the fields of the student’s programme, involving the solution of a practical problem. The overall aim of this module is to enable the students to produce a substantial piece of work on a topic of special interest chosen from those laying on the boundary of the studied fields. It is expected that by doing so the students will consolidate knowledge and strengthen the skills acquired throughout their period of study on both fields.
• Software Project Management
  • The module introduces current practices, skills and techniques applied to project management and quality assurance for computing (software) projects.
