  2. Applied Information Technology • The use of technology to enhance the speed and the efficiency of the transfer of information.

  3. The Higher National Diploma • Industry recognised qualification in its own right but it will also provide an opportunity for you to move on to a related degree at Staffordshire University • All the Higher National Diploma awards within this scheme are linked to a degree (B.Sc.) running at Staffordshire University.

  4. Higher National Diploma in Applied Multimedia • Award Aim: • This award aims to provide a broad base of skills covering media production and the development of Multimedia Applications. • Multimedia skills can be applied in the fields of both Computing and Technology. • Students may choose to study • Hardware and software involved in the production of a particular media type e.g. Film, Music or 3D Animation within their studies or opt to cover generic multimedia hardware and study a programming language.

  5. What students Will Receive • Students will receive a foundation in the development of multimedia applications for CD and at diploma level for the web. • You will have a wide choice of careers depending on which paths they have taken. • They may choose for instance to work in web design or in the creative industries.

  6. Higher National Diploma in Applied Information Technology • This award aims to provide a broad base of knowledge of Information Technology and to enable students to specialise in an applied area such as business or the web.

  7. Information Technology • The area of Information Technology is part of the expanding field of Computer Science. It specifically covers the hardware and software associated with storage, management of data and the retrieval of information.

  8. Included within this award • foundation in computing skills. • In-depth coverage of database design information management is given. At diploma level, students have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as Business Information Technology, Multimedia and Web Development. Diplomats will usually choose a career in their chosen specialist area.

  9. At diploma level • Students have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as Business Information Technology, Multimedia and Web Development. Diplomats will usually choose a career in their chosen specialist area.

  10. Higher National Diploma in Computing Science • This award aims to give students an excellent foundation in the field of computing together with an understanding of ancillary issues such as data protection and ethics.

  11. Computing Science • The field of Computing Sciencecovers • hardware and software associated with so called “number crunching”. • Programming languages • networking and the software associated with data storage • information retrieval and management.

  12. Higher National Diploma in Network Computing • This award aims to lay the foundations in Network Computing and to build on these. This allows the student to gain an in-depth knowledge of networking along with a broad foundation in computing. The Higher National Diploma incorporate modules, which students will find useful should they wish to prepare for the external Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) examinations

  13. Higher National Diploma in Software Engineering • This award aims to provide students with the knowledge of programming with a view to engineering excellent systems. • key area within the field of computing. It involves a study of all the processes involved with the production of well-engineered computer applications includingresearch, analysis, design, implementation and testing.

  14. Higher National Diploma in Computer Games Programming • This award aims to enable students to develop their knowledge of software engineering within the expanding area of computer games programming. • A study of • graphical interfaces and computer graphics • Additionally there are many interesting option threads, which may be followed to flavour the award.

  15. Higher National Diploma in Forensic Computing • This award aims to Study of forensic computing will necessarily involve a precise knowledge of computer hardware, computer security and forensic techniques.

  16. Award Requirements • Awards are gained by the accumulation of credits (NB. These are sometimes referred to as CAT points). The awards are modular. Each module is allocated a number of credits which will be either 15 or a multiple of 15. The modules are divided into specific and non-specific credit modules. All programme modules whether core or options are considered to be specific credit modules. • In addition to the programme modules, at each level there is one general option slot. The general option slots permit students to take an interest in modules from across the university.

  17. Credits required for Higher National Diploma • To gain the award of Higher National Diploma, a total of 240 CATS must be gained over the study period. The study period is usually two years full time and 120 CATS will be studied in each year. • For the Staffordshire University, Higher National Diploma, at least 90 CATS of the 240 required must come from level 2 modules. 30 credits, 15 in each year will come from the chosen general option
