There is currently a continued growth in demand for specialists in computer science, and this course builds on the subject's core principles, with a specific focus on the issues involved in implementing and maintaining an information system as well as its design and development.

This course aims to provide you with:

* the intellectual competencies to pursue personal career goals and aspirations within the IT industry
* the ability to design and implement an information system
* skills to respond to challenging situations, including problem diagnosis, and confidence in selecting appropriate solutions
* an awareness of the moral and ethical issues that an information system might impact on, and the ability to implement IT strategies to conform with appropriate moral and ethical guideline constraint
* the ability to evaluate the security of existing information systems and to encapsulate appropriate secure controls with the design of such systems.

Our course will cover relevant aspects of software development, design and the technical infrastructures of an information system. During your studies you will be expected to develop software applications to support databases, multimedia tools, browsers, servers and to set up the infrastructure to support them.
