The programme aims to produce graduates prepared for a range of careers within the international computer networking industry, at the level of analyzing and developing, network applications, and designing, implementing and assessing the performance of a range of contemporary network-systems. Graduates will possess an understanding of key aspects of contemporary networked systems; they will have practical skills enabling them to operate, manage, design and implement secure networks to professional standards. They will be able to design, set up, configure, manage a range of contemporary networks and assess network security needs, and they will be able to develop a range of network and mobile network applications.

The programme aims to provide graduates with a core set of IT skills and abilities, complemented by an understanding of business-oriented computing.  The programme focuses on the leading trends in information technology, and how these technologies can be used within organisations. 

The programme, of some 3 years' duration, is built on a modular base, which comprises three functionally independent but academically and structurally co-related parts.  Students MUST complete all the three parts progressively in order to be eligible for the BSc degree.  However, flexibility will be accorded to students in recognition of their particular needs. The programme allows students to enter at the first or the second or third parts to read for an NCC International Diploma in Computer Studies or an NCC International Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies or BSc Hons Information Technology with Business Information Systems.

This programme provides a broad base of computing competencies with an in-depth focus on the design, planning, construction and evaluation of multimedia systems and software.  Graduates of this programme will be expected to be able to apply theoretical, heuristic and conceptual approaches to their work.
