Courses Taught
Introduction to Software Engineering
This third year module specifically aims to facilitate the development of competent software developers and engineers. The purpose of this module is to enable students to develop professional skills, knowledge and attitudes that are necessary to become highly competent as software developers and engineers.
Information System Design & Implementation
During this year-long project, students design, develop and implement information systems for the solution of business problems. Doing so they obtain, on a practical level, experience in a team relationship; to identify, analyse and implement a prototype of a business system.
Introduction to Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing
This fourth year course aims to arm students with fundamental knowledge and resources to shield information systems from known and potentially unknown dangers.
