Program overview
This program is for students aiming to join the growing software development industry. The structure is similar to the BICT, but with more emphasis on topics related to programming and reduced business content.
You will build systems in multiple languages, and will learn the entire software development process from initial planning and design through to actual implementation. In addition to hands-on software development through systems analysis design and programming, the program covers topics relevant to senior software engineers, such as project management, and underlying theories.
The architectural design of new systems is included, along with technologies for integrating legacy technologies into new software. Specialised software design and creation tools are introduced, allowing you to develop systems more efficiently and work within a wider range of development environments. The program also expands beyond core development to topics such as operating systems, networks, databases and telecommunications, which are crucial to the construction of many modern n-tier systems.
Classes are small with practical, hands-on learning, and business relevance is a key focus of the program.
