Higher Diploma in Science in Computing (Web and Cloud)

Programme Purpose

The Higher Diploma in Science in Computing (Web and Cloud) provides the practical knowledge and skills in the area of computing and data science for learners who wish to upskill or reskill in this area. The Higher Diploma in Science in Computing (Web and Cloud) is a one year full-time, two years part-time programme that aims to educate and prepare a diverse group of learners in applying the transferable skills that they have obtained as part of their original degree to specific computing skills in their chosen area of specialisation. The programme aims to develop learners' knowledge of the theory and practice of Information necessary for them to secure employment and perform as graduate level computing practitioners in a broad range of commercial, industrial and public sector environments. However, as a transversal skill, the skills developed can be applied across a variety of disciplines, for example in financial services. Learners will benefit from theoretical knowledge fundamental to apply advanced web technologies and cloud infrastructure, database design, and introduction to programming. These skills can also be used to generate actionable insights for stakeholders and support strategic decision making. The programme provides learners with an opportunity to gain experience of researching and solving real-world computing projects through work placement and project work. The Higher Diploma in Science in Computing (Web and Cloud) is a one year full-time (two semesters) and a two year part-time (four semesters) programme providing foundational computing and advanced IT skills that will enable learners to develop a critical understanding of core concepts, architectures, and methods applied in programming, database systems, information systems, security principles, and infrastructure specifically related to web and cloud environments.
