113 Computing Preparatory Programs

Introduction to key concepts from calculus (differentiation and integration), probability (discrete and continuous random variables), and linear algebra (vector spaces, matrices, and linear systems).

The purpose of the Higher National Diploma in Computing programme is to equip you with the necessary knowledge, understanding, and skills needed to succeed in employment in the computing industry.

We recognise that there are many routes to success at the degree level. Our Computing and Mathematics Foundation Year specifically caters for those who lack the traditional entry qualifications to join the first year of a science degree. You are likely to be someone with either non-computing/maths-based qualifications, someone who has tried computing/maths-based subjects but has yet to realise their potential or you are a mature student, with skills and experience from employment, who wants to return to education.

This programme is designed to provide students with a pathway into an undergraduate degree in Engineering or Computing at the Dubai Campus. It is specifically designed as a foundation programme that will help students to bridge the gap between their school qualifications and the demands of a university degree. Students who complete the programme successfully will be able to progress directly into the first year of their chosen degree programme. The programme will help students to develop their subject knowledge whilst providing a firm foundation in IT, research and writing skills, academic English, and assessment and examination techniques.

What are the theoretical limits of computing power? What problems can be solved with computers? Which ones cannot? And how can we reason about the answers to these questions with mathematical certainty? This course explores the answers to these questions and serves as an introduction to discrete mathematics, computability theory, and complexity theory. At the completion of the course, students will feel comfortable writing mathematical proofs, reasoning about discrete structures, reading and writing statements in first-order logic, and working with mathematical models of computing devices. Throughout the course, students will gain exposure to some of the most exciting mathematical and philosophical ideas of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

High-performance computing (HPC) is a field at the forefront of a range of high-tech applications such as computational fluid dynamics, image processing, and financial risk management. With the demands of machine learning outstripping conventional computing, HPC is also at the forefront of artificial intelligence. This course will discuss how HPC clusters are used in large-scale problems in academia and industry alike. Students will learn about HPC clusters from the ground up and gain a solid foundation in parallel computer architectures, cluster operating systems, resource management, and containers. They will build their own systems via the remote installation of physical hardware, configuration and optimization of a high-speed network, and integration of other technologies used throughout the HPC world.

The purpose of Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Computing is to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the computing sector and adapt to a constantly changing world. The qualifications aim to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them. Providing a thorough grounding in computing principles at Level 4.

The Enterprise Computing Minor at Marist is an opportunity for students of all majors to supplement their academic path to progress toward a career in large-scale computing for telecommunications, finance, insurance, and government. Just as our partnership with tech institution IBM and our state-of-the-art facilities set this program apart, our minor in Enterprise Computing will set you apart for a competitive edge when entering the workforce.

The International Stage Two in Computing gives you a head start to achieving a Scottish degree in Computing with the University of Dundee’s prestigious School of Science and Engineering. Computers affect every part of our lives. Technology is rapidly evolving, and the need for computer scientists to work across almost every industry continues to grow. Our IS2 in Computing is the first stage in your integrated BSc (Hons) Computing Science degree course. 

Computing is incomprehensible to visualize a world without technology and to cease from marveling at its influence over the human race, Computing and IT are the present and future of the world. The global digital transformation market size is expected to rise from US$ 1-200 Billion in 2017 to US$ 2000 Billion in 2020. Driven by the adoption of digital technology, the total addressable market for global technology and business services will likely expand to about USD 4000- Billion by 2025.

The BTEC HNC and HND in Computing programme is run as both a full-time and a part-time option, and provides you with extensive knowledge of computing principles, with particular reference to the analysis, design and implementation of computer applications in a business context.

The Access to HE Diploma in Computing aims to prepare students for Higher Education in Computing and related disciplines. It is aimed at students, who for whatever reason are unable to pursue traditional routes, for progression to higher education and offering bespoke computing provision to meet the needs of existing Level 4 HE courses. It provides a broad-based educational experience in the core subjects relating to Computing, whilst enabling students to develop relevant HE study skills. The Access to HE Diploma in Computing is designed to ensure students demonstrate ability in core subjects in order to embark on a specialist course in the Computing, Digital or IT Sector

The certificate in high-performance computing is designed to introduce learners to the core skills needed for working with advanced computing systems. The program covers topics like parallel programmi...

The Five-Year Concurrent Degree Programme (CDP) offered by Yale-NUS College and NUS School of Computing (NUS Computing) aims to develop versatile graduates who can tackle significant computing problems in a complex global context.

Diploma of Science (Computing/IT) (Year 1) is designed to enhance your learning experience, and provide you with the underpinning knowledge necessary to prepare you for studies in computing, information technology, and cyber security at the university level. Diploma of Science (Computing/IT) (Year 2) introduces you to the disciplines of computer science, software engineering, computer security, information technology, and other emerging fields.
