About This Course
The Higher National Diploma (HND) in Computing aims to enhance your career and employability in the areas of Computing by developing a critical awareness and industry-centric skills required to succeed in the field.
This diploma is equivalent the first 2 years of a bachelor’s degree, allowing students seamless transfers to a top-up degree with over 200 universities worldwide.
This course focuses on building current skills in specialist technical software development and allow students to develop up-to-date knowledge in programming and systems development. You will learn how to plan, design, and implement a range of different software solutions using an array of computing and programming tools used in the market today.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to discuss several types of network security measures and associated protocols, and cryptographic types and configuration settings of network security environments. They will evaluate and implement a network using LAN design principles, produce an appropriate WAN solution and solve a range of network-related problems using appropriate troubleshooting techniques and methods. Students are introduced to operating systems, the relationship between the subsystems embedded in a central processing unit and the core hardware and software components associated with computer operations, which will help them in configuring the hardware and systems needed to establish a computer network, together with testing the security of a network to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
