Digital User Experience Design

Web Communications

Inside Information Technology

Data Analytics for Cyber Security

Programming Environment

Computer Networks

Online Games and Play

In this subject, students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts and methodologies utilised in programming. Students will develop problem solving skills in order to identify appropriate tools and methodologies to address software requirements. Decision logics and iterative programming will be explored and applied through software coding, debugging and testing on various platforms. Lastly, students will produce and present verified and validated software solutions and documentation to meet project goals.

Introduction to Programming

Cybersecurity Principles lays the foundation for students to apply their software and networking knowledge in order to identify the impact of security threats on contemporary business environments. Fundamentals of cybersecurity will be explored such as cybersecurity attack vectors, available security measures, and risk management best practice. Within a professional IT context, students will present a cybersecurity proposal to address potential threats that impact business outcomes and sustainability.

Develop practical cybersecurity knowledge. You’ll learn how to analyse threats and manage risks. Consider laws and human factors. Practice communicating a real cybersecurity solution.

Cybersecurity Principles

In this subject, students learn the fundamental elements of Cloud Computing. They identify the building blocks of Cloud Computing including essential characteristics, different service models and how these models differ from each other. In addition, students also develop an understanding of resource pooling and virtualisation in Cloud. They learn about various deployment models in cloud computing and how these deployment models differ from traditional IT deployment models.

Introduction to Cloud Computing

This subject introduces students to the fundamentals of JavaScript and the application of this knowledge in web development. The subject explores principles of JavaScript to broaden understanding of programming languages. Students apply these fundamentals to navigate and manipulate the document object model (DOM) of a webpage. They subsequently design and develop their own interactive components and interfaces, expanding beyond the capabilities that web design languages such as HTML and CSS afford. This subject culminates in exploring design and coding interactive web animations using various JavaScript libraries, increasing ability and skillsets for modern web design and development.

Javascript Fundamentals

This subject introduces students to the theory and practice of information design, displaying data with purpose to foster understanding and engagement. Using a variety of sources, students identify and collate quantitative and qualitative data before synthesising and analysing it with applied organisational methods. Using visualisation techniques, students bring the information to life by telling its story in graphic and/or interactive form that represents the data in an effective and compelling way.

Turn complex data into clear, engaging visuals that tell powerful stories. You’ll learn how to organise, analyse, and visualise data in ways that inform, inspire, and influence audiences.

Data Visualisation

In this subject students are introduced to the current Software Engineering standards and processes, with the aim of enabling them to analyse, design, and implement software projects that follow certain quality measures at every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle. The subject covers requirements engineering, modelling and design of software, software architecture, verification and validation of software systems, and other topics that are related to the software engineering practices.

Software Engineering Principles

In this subject, you will analyse the management of services in a hotel, and the concepts and practical implications of providing exceptional services. Following an overview of the role and nature of services, you will learn to assess the performance of service by frontline employees and apply strategies for managing service behaviours. You will be able to demonstrate a deep understanding of service design concepts and their application in hospitality businesses.

Service Design and Management

Secure by Design introduces students to the security lifecycle of IT systems such as secure design methodologies, development of secure software and implementation and risk assessment of IT systems. Students are presented with insights into the use and scope of relevant industry standards such as OWASP or Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) which are integral components of this subject. Through application of the skills and knowledge acquired throughout this subject, students have the opportunity to build the appropriate security into systems that maintain the integrity, safety and functionality of IT systems while being exposed to cyber threats.

Secure by Design

This subject will introduce you to the knowledge, tools, and techniques used in managing projects successfully through a project life cycle. The language used by practitioners in conjunction with the terminology recognised by the Project Management Institute (PMI) is explored. You will consider Project Management (PM) knowledge areas and process groups of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) guide, which will include initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing a project. You will also incorporate the skills, concepts and techniques of agile project management (APM).

Information Systems Project Management

In Network Design and Security, students will be introduced to principles of network communications, topologies, and security protocols. Contemporary and advanced techniques for managing and protecting computing networks will be explored to ensure the protection of commercially processed data and their supported applications. Students will be given an opportunity to design and evaluate a contemporary computing network with a focus on next generation firewalls, access management systems and attack resilience for secure enterprises.
