Informatics  Computer  Studies  Students  to  Articulate  into  SIU  Degree
programmes in a Shorter Time

Informatics  Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies students now has definite
reason  to  rejoice  ?  better  modular  choices of articulation into Salem
International   University   (SIU)  degree  programmes.  According  to  the
respective  of  the  number  of modules completed at their Advanced Diploma
level,  students can gain entry into the degree programmes in SIU simply by
bridging the gaps with corresponding core courses taken from SIU.

Currently,  the  Salem  International  University degree programme offers 2
majors  via Purpletrain.com, the e-learning service provider of Informatics
Group:

* Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science (IT Major)
*   Bachelor  of  Science  (BSc)  in  Business  Management  (Management  or
 International Business)

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

      The  Information  Technology  specialisation  is  designed  to assist
      students  in  acquiring  the  skills  to maintain a business computer
      network,  develop Internet business connections, maintain and install
      software on a business network and/or PC.

For  students  who  have completed the Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies
(ADCS) programme with 13 modules, they will only be required to complete an
additional 13 SIU courses which comprises of 2 core modules (Simulation and
Modelling  and Assembly Language Programming) and 11 electives from General
Education  and  Liberal Arts (see chart). The corresponding increase in the
number of core courses taken at SIU will tally with fewer modules completed
at ADCS level.
