UNIT OUTLINES Core Units Introduction to Database Design and Development Modern organisations transact, manipulate, investigate and store increasingly large amounts of data. Database management systems are the tools used to manipulate raw data into meaningful information and store it in a robust manner. Understanding and using database management systems is therefore an essential skill required of anyone seeking to work in a modern organisation with large quantities of data. This unit will introduce students to the basic concepts of database management, the relationship model, logical database design, the SQL programming language, database security and basic administration and recovery. Introduction to Computer Science This unit aims to equip students with the understanding of the key concepts in computer science including data storage and manipulation using a high level language (e.g. Java). Students will learn how to apply the concept to construct small programmes that solve simple problems. Introduction to Multimedia and the Internet Students are introduced to the increasing popularity and usage of multimedia. Students will learn how to use text, images, sound and video to deliver compelling messages and content in meaningful ways. Students will be able to understand the stages of multimedia development that includes designing, organising, producing and managing multimedia projects. Emphasis is also placed on understanding the impact of multimedia and its societal implications and responsibilities.

UNIT OUTLINE Business and Information Management Accounting for Managers Accounting for Managers seeks to introduce students to a basic understanding of financial accounting and management accounting principles. This enables them to enter the workforce with confidence in their ability to work at a very basic level in this field, or pursue further studies in accounting so that they may eventually become professionally recognised accountants. Quantitative Analysis Studies done in business situations rely on collecting data to enable decisions to be made for future actions. For these decisions to be useful they need to be based on sound statistical principles. Thus there is a need to be aware of proper sampling techniques, the ideas of probability and the fact that any decision made with incomplete information is prone to involve error. The unit covering business statistics will introduce a variety of statistical techniques to show under which circumstances each should be used. Project Management This unit aims to provide students with a holistic, integrated view of project management. It will equip students with the necessary project management tools, techniques and interpersonal skills to manage projects from start to finish. Principles of Information Systems and Data Management This unit aims to develop an understanding of the concept of information systems and the activities in the systems development life cycle. It highlights the role and contribution of information systems in the organisation and how data and information are organised and used in a company. Introduction to Management Introduction to Management provides the strategic management tools and theoretical concepts to analyse firms in different industries, make strategic decisions and justify these decisions with supporting evidence. This unit covers a wide spectrum of business management activities and decisions, both at corporate and divisional level including management, production, information systems and finance. Computer Forensics Computational Mathematics and Computer Architecture This unit aims to equip students with the fundamentals of problem solving and computer arithmetic. Students will also be introduced to the features of MATLAB and how to apply MATLAB to find solutions to mathematics problems. Emphasis is placed on identifying the solutions through IT efficiency.

Introduction to Data Communications This unit aims to develop student s understanding of the OSI Reference Model and the TCP/IP protocol stack. It will also develop students familiarity with networking equipment and techniques, as well as with network routing equipment in varied fields. Principles of Computer Forensics Modern organisations perform many core business activities using computers and the Internet as part of the globalised modern economy. When an organisation is the subject of a cybercrime, the authorities rely on skilled professionals who can gather and interpret data to be used to prosecute those who break the law. This unit focuses on computer forensics principles and an exposure to computer technology concepts. Students will be introduced to foundational concepts of electronic evidence collection, handling of evidence used in prosecuting computer crimes, civil cases, computer frauds & scams and other forms of cyber crimes. Principles of Computer Security Today s modern social and commerce environments rely on digital systems to store, communicate and transact sensitive data. Cybercrime and the threat of cyber attack is a growing concern and professionals with skills in this discipline are now in unprecedented demand. In this unit, students will learn the fundamental methodologies to design and analyse security critical systems, including the essentials of computer security, applied cryptography, software vulnerability analysis, networking and wireless security.
