Course Structure

.

 

The course structure, over a period of twenty-four months (two years), is as follows: Four modules of taught courses and 2 modules of projects The taught units are divided into a set of   core course and a set of efective courses.  The courses are examined by practical work and, in most cases, a formal examination. The project specification and design will commence in Year 2 Module 5. The dissertation should be submitted by the end of Module 6. Projects can be either software projects or research projects. The course will be conducted on campus. Classes will be conducted in the weekend, Saturday(2pm-10pm) and alternate Sunday(9am-4pm) weekly. The scheme of study is shown below: Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 8 Credits c 9 Credits c 3 Credits c 2 Credits c 6 Credits p 6 Credits p - - 6 Credits e 6 Credits e - - Sat, Sun Sat, Sun Sat, Sun Sat, Sun Sat, Sun Sat, Sun Remarks: c = Core courses, e = Elective courses, p = Projects Core Courses The core courses are mainly studied in the first two trimesters. At the end of this part of the course, a student will be able to approach large-scale software design in a professional manner. Students are trained on object-oriented problem solving and programming. Core courses are compulsory. The student will need to pass Research Methodology but his/her results will not be included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) calculation.

In this part of the course, the students study, in depth, a selection of key topics in Computer Science. Having studied these topics, the students will have the necessary background to begin work on their dissertations.
