Solving problems in business often requires computer programming to manipulate, analyse, and visualise data. This component helps students, with little or no background in computer programming, learn how to design and write programs using a high-level procedural programming language, and to solve problems using these skills. Topics such as cyber security, cyber ethics and privacy regarding the collection of individual data will also be discussed.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of this subject, students should be able to:

  • Read, write, and debug programs to solve business problems.
  • Use fundamental programming constructs (sequence, alternation, selection), data structures (arrays, records, lists, associative arrays), abstraction constructs such as functions, and basic algorithms to solve business problems.
  • Understand ethical issues regarding privacy and cyber security.
