Course Description
Higher Certificate Science in Computing (with Options in Computer Applications, Commercial Programming, Computer Networking)
Computing is the study of how computers and computer systems work and how they are constructed and programmed. As computing increasingly impacts on every aspect of our lives, it is also becoming a more evolved and complex area. While computing may be of general interest to students, its often difficult to know which area of specialisation will be of most interest. This programme has been designed to give students the broadest possible choice before choosing a specialisation.
