Course Overview

This diploma provides students with the academic and practical knowledge to pursue careers in the ICT sector. The curriculum covers both computing theory and hands-on technical skills, preparing students for professional roles or further study in Information Technology or related fields.

Curriculum

At the beginning of the programme, students will develop essential problem-solving and analytical skills for the digital era. The modules introduce fundamental concepts in information systems and internet applications, together with core principles
of computer architecture and computer design. A strong mathematical and statistical foundation for computing is also provided to support logical reasoning, quantitative analysis, and computational thinking.

Modules
 

• Information Systems
• Internet Applications
• Computer Architecture
• Mathematics and Statistics for Computing

This semester advances students’ knowledge in core information and communication technology areas, including system analysis and design, computer programming, and operating systems. Students gain hands-on experience by applying programming and system concepts to analyse problems and develop practical applications within organisational and computing environments.

Modules
 

• System Analysis and Design
• Programming with Python
• Operating Systems

This semester strengthens students’ technical competence in system development through object-oriented programming, database management, and networking technologies. Emphasis is placed on applying object-oriented principles, data management techniques, and networking fundamentals to analyse problems and develop reliable, user-oriented computing solutions using systematic design approaches.

Modules
 

• Networking Technologies
• Object Oriented Programming
• Database Management

This semester introduces students to emerging technologies, web development, mathematical foundations, and entrepreneurship. Students build practical skills in responsive web design and gain exposure to virtual and augmented reality and the Metaverse. Mathematical reasoning is strengthened through algebra and discrete mathematics, while entrepreneurial principles support innovation and technology-driven ventures.

Modules
 

• Introduction to VRAR and Metaverse
• Responsive Web Design and Development
• Algebra and Discreate Mathematics

• Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship

   

This semester deepens understanding of contemporary computing technologies, focusing on cloud computing, cybersecurity, and intelligent systems. Students gain foundational knowledge of digital security, forensics, and ethical responsibilities.
Depending on the pathway, they are introduced to Internet of Things concepts or fundamental artificial intelligence techniques to analyse problems and apply secure, cloud-based solutions.

Modules
 

• Introduction to IoT OR Introduction to AI
• Cloud Computing Principles
• Cyber Security and Forensic

In the final semester, students consolidate learning through advanced networking, user experience design, and a capstone project. They develop deeper understanding of networking concepts and professional ethics. The capstone project integrates technical, analytical, and design skills to plan, design, and implement a complete solution, demonstrating readiness for professional practice.

• Capstone Project
• Fundamentals of UI/UX Design
• Advanced Networking

INTERNSHIP (12 weeks)

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 12 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.
