Academic Success
Academic success is the student’s responsibility. Each student will receive continuous support and guidance from a Course Director, responsible for providing academic oversight; and a Learning Skills Coordinator, responsible for keeping abreast of the student’s learning in the workplace.
Students enroll in three courses per term while working full-time. During years 1 and 2, courses include fundamentals in software development, cyber security, and data science. In addition, students take professional skills courses such as Teamwork and Communications in Software Development. During years 2 and 4, students choose their specialization and take required courses in one of these streams, software development, cybersecurity, or data science.
