Courses

The philosophy of the Pathway and routes is to provide students with a course of study offering a coherent balance between prescription and choice, coverage and specialisation. The modules available on the pathway give students the opportunity to study Business Management / Business I.T, Computing, Software Development and Internet Systems Development from both conceptual and vocational perspectives.

The course is run over six semesters / 3 terms for full-time students. In the first year you study 4-6 modules from QCF level 4, in the second year 4-6 QCF level 5 modules, and in the final (3rd Year) year 4-6 QCF level 6 modules.

1.         Post Graduate Diploma PGD- (QCF Level 7)

2.         Graduate Diploma 3rd year (QCF Level 6)

3.         Graduate Diploma 2nd year / Professional Diploma (QCF Level 5)

4.         Graduate Diploma 1st year / Higher Diploma (QCF Level 4)

We have six different routes to select for QCF Level 4 to Level 6. Students may enrol on a course of study with Single pathway or Joint pathway but Major pathway shout be studies all Core Modules and Optional Modules can be study from any other pathway to obtain Joint Award.

Student cannot mix and match modules across other pathway, except the one it’s select at the time of enrolment.

1.         Business Computing /  IT

2.         Business Management

3.         Administrative Management

4.         Computer Science

5.         Software Development

6.         Internet  Systems Development

In order to meet the stated aims and objectives of the pathway and provide students with a coherent balance between dictated and chosen study, and to remain within the parameters of the modular programme, a distinction is made between three types of module;

Core modules are compulsory for all students on the pathway.

As the name indicates these modules are non-compulsory. You may select from a range of modules on the computing pathway in order to make up an appropriate number of modules.

Any module from within the modular scheme may be selected as an elective except in the case where a lack of a prerequisite module would prohibit the choice. Students may select one elective module in each of levels.

Module Assessment

Most modules at level one are assessed by two to four (2-4) pieces of coursework/assignments which are equally weighted. To pass a module student must achieve at least 50% as a whole.

Progress from Semester to Semester

Normally you must pass all modules in a semester/term in order to proceed to the next semester. If you have not been successful in the assessments for a module(s) you may be given referred work to redeem the shortfall.  If the referred work is still not satisfactory you will have to repeat the module if it is a core module.  If it is an option or elective module you can choose to repeat the module or pick a different module.
