亚太科技大学

This programme is specifically designed to provide:

The ability to develop technical knowledge, skills and background in the design and organization of computer systems focusing on cyber security.

The ability to critically evaluate design paradigms, languages, algorithms, and techniques used to develop complex software systems related to cyber security.

The ability to evaluate and respond to opportunities for developing and exploiting new technologies and applications in cyber security.

What You Will Study:

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every IT professional, and the basic understanding of programming, mathematical and algorithmic skills. A sound grasp of mathematical techniques and skills in algorithmic thinking are important pre-requisites for their second and third year studies in this area. Computer architecture, operating systems, networks, databases, security technologies and forensic tools and techniques are the underlying platforms in cyber security. Introduction to management introduces the third key area, understanding personal and organizational development, along with independent learning and team working skills. As an elective module, students can choose either Introduction to Object-Oriented or C Programming to strengthen one of their essential skills being computer science degree holders.

A broader range of skills will be learnt, in which students will be involved in designing and implementing software, devising new ways to use computers and developing effective ways to solve computing problems. It spans a wide range, from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting edge developments in all areas of computing. Successful professionals with a degree in computer science are flexible in performing a range of computing tasks, and extend theories and practice in every area of computing. In the second year, the core modules take development skills to the next level and deepen the understanding of platform technology, while specialized modules will allow them to go further into system & network administration, computing theory, computer systems & low level techniques and implementation of secure systems.

Students will draw on their previous studies and industrial experience to refine their personal and professional development in the field of computer science, supported by specialized training in project management and new product development. Students will move further into the focus on other core modules which would help them develop new skills in advanced programming techniques and algorithms, and evaluating applications at the frontiers of current technology.
