APU-DMU Dual Degree Scheme

Course Description

This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

  • Familiarity with the tools and rigorous methodologies used to develop mission-critical and safety-critical software systems.
  • The ability to critically evaluate design paradigms, languages, algorithms, and techniques used to develop large-scale and complex software systems.
  • A deep appreciation of the importance of software architecture, testing, documentation, and maintainability.
Curriculum

DEGREE LEVEL 1

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every IT professional, and the basic understanding of the underlying computer system through Computer Architecture, operating systems, networking and databases. Some specialised modules will provide them basic knowledge of security and computer forensics. The modules will also help them develop personal and organisational skills, as well as nurture creativity and innovation.

Common Modules

  • Computing & IT in the Workplace
  • Introduction to Management
  • System Analysis & Design
  • Fundamentals of Software Development
  • Mathematical Concepts for Computing
  • Operating Systems & Computer Architecture
  • Introduction to Networking
  • Introduction to Databases

Specialized Modules

  • Introduction to Object Oriented Programming

Elective Modules (Choose 1)

  • Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
  • Interactive Media & Web Design & Development

 

DEGREE LEVEL 2

A broader range of skills will be learnt, in which students will gain a better understanding of design paradigms, languages, and algorithms used for developing large-scale and complex software systems. They will gain solid understanding of software lifecycle, and methodologies for specification, design, development, testing, evaluation, analysis and maintenance of software systems. We will further nurture their creativity and innovation as well as independent learning to prepare them for the workplace.

Common Modules

  • Object Oriented Development with Java
  • System Development Methods
  • Programming for Data Analysis
  • Creativity & Innovation
  • Research Methods for Computing and Technology

Specialized Modules

  • Computer Theory
  • Data Structures
  • Design Methods
  • Requirements Engineering

  • Enterprise Systems

Elective Modules (choose 1)

  • Concurrent Programming
  • Further Web Design & Development
  • Mobile App Engineering

 

INTERNSHIP (16 weeks)

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

 

DEGREE LEVEL 3

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in the field of software engineering and to refine their personal and professional development. Students will move further into system design methods that help them improve on software design, organisation and maintainability to produce concise and powerful software applications. A final year project requires them to investigate and develop a solution for a real-world problem - they will demonstrate their ability to combine technical knowledge, critical thinking and analytical skills to produce a personal achievement portfolio.
