Course description

This course aims to retrain graduates with no IT background and prepare them for rewarding employment in the IT industry. Students are introduced to important fundamental computer science topics such as programming, database systems and computer networks, and progress to advanced topics in software engineering, database systems, intelligent systems, internet computing, or computer networks (including web-based multimedia and e-commerce systems). Students can complete the degree entirely by coursework, or incorporate an industrial software engineering team project and an elective minor research thesis. Students who already have knowledge of programming and data structures may move more rapidly to the advanced topics.
