This unit introduces students to the mathematical principles and theory
that underpin the computing curriculum. Through a series of case
studies, scenarios and task-based assessments students will explore
number theory within a variety of scenarios; use applicable probability
theory; apply geometrical and vector methodology, and finally evaluate
problems concerning differential and integral calculus.

The aim of this unit is to provide students with knowledge of security,
associated risks and how security breaches impact on business
continuity. Students will examine security measures involving access
authorisation, regulation of use, implementing contingency plans and
devising security policies and procedures.

This unit provides a foundation for good practice in a variety of
contexts. The ability to communicate effectively using different tools
and mediums will ensure that practical, research, design, reporting and
presentation tasks are undertaken professionally and in accordance with
various communication conventions.

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to understand the concepts of web applications and apply the skills to develop and test web applications using server-side technologies.
The internet has emerged as a dominating area of IT development. The ever-expanding applications within the global community that communicates, trades and exchanges information(seamlessly) has meant that the Internet and its associated technologies is a rapidly growing and changing area that requires in-depth knowledge as well as a wide range of skills.
Learners will understand the concepts of web-based applications using one or more different server-side scripting languages, such as ASP, JSP and PHP. Many web-based systems also include database systems, which enables data to be processed dynamically. Learners will gain
experience of developing web-enabled database systems, using SQL statements combined with server-side scripts to manage the process of information.
