About the Course
This Foundation Degree includes the study of such topics as cloud computing, concepts in software development, networks forensics, computer systems and security, and cloud architecture, all of which will provide solid foundations in understanding the new revolution in data storage and processing through a series of cloud computing services.
We will introduce students to a selection of current technologies like cloud architecture and designing for the enterprise so to enable smooth migration of operational and IT solutions to remote cloud services. We will also introduce software and database concepts to delve deeper into the world of cloud computing and data analytics. Students will have the opportunity to use industry-standard tools and services like the ones provided by Amazon's AWS and to develop employability skills through practical projects both in the classroom and the cloud computing platforms.
This course is designed to support progression into employment or on to a Top-up Degree.
