Entry Criteria

Eligibility for the programme is as follows:

GCE Advanced Level (Local) - 3 passes in one and the same sitting in any subject stream. OR GCE Advance Level (Edexcel / Cambridge) - 3 D passes in one and the same sitting in any combination of subjects. OR Successful completion of the Foundation Certificate in IT at SLIIT Academy.
A pass in the Aptitude Test conducted by SLIIT.

Students may also apply with pending Advance Level Results.

This course provides coverage of aspects of modern computing and computer networks.
It covers fundamental programming and security knowledge
as well as specializing in network programming and other aspects of distributed computing.
The course uses Python as a tool for learning programming.
Linux skills are taught throughout the course and emphasis is placed on learning the basics before moving onto advanced topics.
Graduates from the course will have sound knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and maintenance.

This is to prepare students for the areas of ICT found to be most in demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill.
Curtin works together closely with industry partners to fine tune the course and provides placement opportunities to good students in the final year.
On completion of the three-year degree, students who have performed well will be eligible to complete an extra year of study to obtain an honours qualification, BH-SCNCE Bachelor of Science (Honours).
The research focus of an Honours degree provides a pathway for career advancement at a higher level than the base degree.
Students who perform well in this course can apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Computing course, although acceptance is not automatic.

Apply computer networking concepts to develop solutions and protect systems related to information technology
Evaluate information technologies in a manner that is appropriate for a given problem and think critically and creatively to generate innovative and optimum theoretical and practical solutions
Identify, evaluate and synthesise information from a range of technology sources to optimise the process of network design and implementation
Document information technology activities and artefacts and communicate them in written and oral form to both technical and non-technical audiences and communicate effectively in ways appropriate to the audience and purpose
Effectively use new and existing technologies, recognising their advantages and limitations
Sustain intellectual curiosity by updating their knowledge, engage in continuous training and research, and take control of their own learning and development
Recognise and apply IEEE/ACM/ACS standards and best practice in process software design and development
