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

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 this subject, you will apply essential skills in cloud solutions and microservices to help organisations adapt rapidly to evolving demands while efficiently maintaining their applications and systems. You will explore how cloud platforms and microservices offer flexibility, streamline updates, and improve system reliability. You will address key areas such as cloud security, monitoring, and scalability, emphasizing their importance in creating adaptable, high-performance systems. By the end of the subject, you will apply problem-solving, collaboration, and analytical skills to real-world scenarios, preparing you to confidently navigate the dynamic tech landscape.

Microservices Architecture Cloud and Web IS

This subject introduces students to web based application design and development as a tool for delivering web-based solutions addressing organisational needs. Students will employ an integrated development environment (IDE) to create, compile, test and run programs, applying web design and development constructs. This subject will expose students to a web based application development environment to equip them with an understanding of the requirements in organisations.

App, Web Design and Development

What if the way you design and manage data could make or break an organisation’s success? In this subject, you will uncover why data is one of an organisation’s most powerful assets and why handling it well is far more complex than it looks. You will learn how to analyse and design databases that avoid common pitfalls, such as data anomalies, and explore how integrated, well-structured data fuels smarter decisions and smoother operations. You will also evaluate organisational data needs and implement database solutions to support organisational information systems. These skills allow you to communicate effective database solutions to a wider audience.

Database Fundamentals

Ready to turn ideas into real, working programs? This subject introduces you to programming as a powerful tool for solving real-world problems in today’s digital organisations. You will learn to code using Python one of the most in-demand languages in the tech industry while working in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to design, test, and run your own programs. Along the way, you will build essential skills in problem-solving, algorithm design, and functional programming. Aligned with the PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer certification, this subject gives you a clear path toward professional recognition and further study in software development. You will also sharpen your collaboration and communication skills so you can explain your solutions clearly whether your audience is technical or not. Think tech isn&#39;t for you because you&#39;ve never coded before? All you need is curiosity and willingness to learn, we&#39;ll bring the tools.
