| This is a double major course where equal weightage is placed between Computer Science and Statistics. |
In Computer Science, students learn the principles
and skills for information systems design and development, including
programming, database design and development, web page design and
development, and other related subjects. Students will learn programming
languages such as C, XHTML, Java and VB.Net. |
| Students are also trained in mathematical and statistical methods, which complements their knowledge and skills in computer science. The mathematics and statistics training prepares students for further work and research involving statistics |
 |
| Academic and Professional Progression |
The standard of the Diploma in
Science
(Computer Science and Statistics) is equivalent
to the 1st year of a relevant Bachelor Degree.
Graduates can further their studies to: |
