Content:

This programme provides a comprehensive, vocational education in computer science. It also provides a good basis for further study.

Digital Media Specialisation

This is a specialisation in multimedia systems including theory, methods and techniques for managing pictures, sound, video and digital maps, publishing information on the internet and design of user interfaces. The aim is to consider the effects on society and ethical consequences of the information revolution, and to build on the general aspects of computer science.

System Development & Programming Specialisation

There is thorough instruction in planning and project management, analysis, design and programming of various types of information systems, from 'stand-alone' applications to systems that operate with databases in both networks and on the internet. The aim is to build on the general aspects of computer science, and specialise in the technical aspects.
