The aim of the Computer Programming program is to equip students with a strong foundation needed for practical applications in Computer Programming (CP). The programme focuses on satisfying the needs of learners with a balanced education between the theoretical and practical concepts required for each module.
General Information
This is a 3-year technician academic programme. First year of the program focuses on developing the knowledge about Basic English, mathematics and computer hardware/software. Students pursue their summer internship and gain experience in the industry, at the end of first year. During their second year, courses on computer networks, internet programming, object-oriented programming, database programming and management are offered, which improve their knowledge and prepare them for employment in the industry. Third year of the programme includes advanced technical courses for improving the practical applications and problem solving abilities of students and 80 days training in the industry which integrates the students with the industry before graduating.
Accreditations
Computer Programming program has the ASIIN certification. ASIIN (Accreditation Agency Specialized in Accrediting Degree Programs in Engineering, Informatics, the Natural Sciences and Mathematics) is one of the most important quality assurance institutions for technical and scientific study programs.
