Computer Science
The course aims:
i To give students an advanced understanding of and competence with, the hardware and software available and/or needed for the development and use of computer systems;
ii To educate at postgraduate level graduates from non-computer science related disciplines in the specification, design and creation of software-based systems customized for specific tasks and applications;
iii To produce postgraduates possessing awareness, knowledge and practical skills in one of the modern computer science specializations (networking, human-computer interaction, software engineering, database management systems). By the end of the programme the students will have acquired advanced critical and evaluative perspectives of this discipline, together with analytical and creative problem solving abilities;
iv To develop the students' professional attitudes and the interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills required by a practitioner in industry.
