Advanced Diploma in Computer Science – Level 5

About the course

The course aims to provide the advanced knowledge and studies for understanding and applying the various skills and knowledge required by the professionals in Computing and Data Science field. Students will be awarded Advanced Diploma after successful completion of this program.

Method of Assessment

The assessments provide you with opportunities to diagnose your skills, abilities, academic/occupational background and to give you an early indication of what specific learning practices may help you improve in specific areas of study, starting from student induction period in conjunction with and throughout the entire in-course period of study. There will be frequent opportunities to get feedback both from tutors, peers and via self-assessment, and some assessments will allow for draft submissions to be considered by a tutor or peers to identify aspects in need of development prior to final hand-in.
 
 The assessments are to be inclusive such that a variety of methods will be used in assessing students to ensure that no particular group of students are advantaged or disadvantaged.
 
 The methods include portfolios, laboratory practical work, group and individual production projects, individual and group written reports and formal written exams.
 
 Mini-projects and case studies provide you with real-world problems. You are expected to find solutions to the problems following the process of analysis, technique evaluation, design and syntheses, and solution evaluation.
 
 These mini- projects and case studies are designed in both group work and individual work fashions to allow you to practice your communication skills and team working skills, and to develop the capability of working individually. They are also design in the way in which you need to connect together different elements taught within a unit and also across different units with helps from the course team who explain to you how individual units make-up of the course.
 
 Written exams focus on theoretical knowledge and the application of the knowledge to computing and data science.
