The programme develops the lifelong learning skills which are essential for IT professionals to ensure that their knowledge and skills are current. The programme acts as the final year of the NCC Education degree journey, building on the knowledge and skills introduced by the Level 4 Diploma in Computing (L4DC)/ Level 4 Diploma in Business Information Technology (L4BIT) and the Level 5 Diploma in Computing (L5DC)/ Level 5 Diploma in Business Information Technology (L5BIT).Successful students will be awarded a Bachelors degree from the University of Greenwich. Entry Requirements NCC Education Level 5 Diploma in Computing (L5DC), Level 5 Diploma in Business Information Technology (L5DBIT), or other entry requirements as approved by the University of Greenwich. Programme Structure The programme is made up of six 15-credit units (each of which requires an average of 150 hours of mixed study, including classroom based and independent study) and a 30-credit Project unit in which the student will conduct a significant piece of independent work. Of these, there are four core units and an additional three to be selected by the learner from a list of seven optional units. Core Units Project (30 credits) - designed to provide students with the opportunity to carry out an individual piece of supervised work relevant to their degree. This helps to develop a student’s ability to self-manage a significant piece of work whilst applying practical and analytical skills present in their programme of study. Development, Frameworks and Methods (15 credits) - this aims to consider the components of a generic development methodology, the significance of Rapid Applications Development techniques and the future direction of development methods in industry as well as considering any professional and ethical issues relating to information systems development. Information Requirements Analysis (15 credits) - to explore human issues relating to the development of information systems within the context of organisational culture and world views. Enterprise Web Software Development (15 credits) - providing the necessary knowledge and skills to manage the content of large scale web sites and intranets and their related database and Content Management Systems. Options Information Technology Planning (15 credits) – to discuss and explain the roles and activities in how information technology systems aid and support businesses as well as evaluating the methods and techniques used to assess and monitor information technology systems. User Interface Design (15 credits) - to provide students with the understanding and knowledge of computer interfaces in current practise in human computer interface development. Database Engineering (15 credits) - introducing database concepts and the use of relational database systems. This unit emphasises implementation issues of relational database systems, and provides an insight into recent developments in database technology. Information and Content Management (15 credits) - to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to manage the content of enterprise-wide data-driven web sites and intranets and their related databases. This will also develop knowledge of the technical and managerial issues of large-scale content management systems and develop critical awareness of related issues. Information Systems Management (15 credits) - to understand how information systems can be managed to the best advantage of an organisation. Interaction Design (15 credits) - to provide students with knowl- edge of how to better design interactive systems, as well as give an understanding for interaction design problems and how multimedia systems can be designed and implemented. Database Management & Administration (credits) - to introduce more advanced database concepts as well as provide the necessary knowledge and practical skills for creating and maintaining the database including objects and data. Assessment With the exception of Database Management & Administration and Database Engineering, units are assessed by coursework assignments. The Project unit is assessed by a Project Report and Demonstration by the student. Award Conditions Successful students will be awarded a classified BSc (Hons) in Business Information Technology. Classification will be based on a student’s performance in units. Honours degree classifications are first, upper second, lower second and third.
