This course will enable the students to deepen their understanding of various aspects of the computing discipline possibly with an eye to pursuing any undergraduate degree programme through a fundamental treatment of the technical aspects of larger field of ICT.

The Computing Advanced Examination is made up of two papers and a project. The content includes:

  • Digital Logic
  • Computer Architecture
  • Assembly Languages
  • Operating Systems
  • Networking and Communications
  • Language Translators
  • Systems Analysis and Design
  • Introduction to Data Structures and High Level Language Programming
  • Databases

The Project

The project is intended to be an extended exercise requiring about three months of effort, typically conducted in the second year of study. It should demonstrate a student’s mastery of:

  •  The syntax and semantics of the Java programming language. The mastery of control constructs within Java as well as the application of algorithmic logic to the resolution of real-world issues.
  • The identification of a problem domain, some basic analytical though towards the function and design of suitable data structures and algorithms.
  • Fundamental testing procedures and the choice of test data to demonstrate the functional behaviour of a system;
  • Documenting a system both from a technical as well as a user perspective.
