Program description
The Computer Programming diploma program teaches you how to create scalable software solutions. Students can pursue interesting and in-demand jobs as software developers, technical support professionals, and more in two years by acquiring the necessary technical and soft skills.
This curriculum, which was created in response to the lack of qualified IT professionals, teaches students object-oriented ideas, test-driven development methodologies, and programming logic for designing, implementing, and testing software and online applications. Students learn how to manage database systems for dynamic applications and receive experience working through the project life cycle, from concept to implementation and testing.
Completing the technical training is the development of soft skills such as teamwork and communications, which are highly sought after in the IT business. Every semester, lab tutors assist students in honing their craft in workshops.
Additionally, this degree offers opportunities for hands-on learning through a capstone project that allows students to use their knowledge and abilities to tackle real-world problems.
