  At the end of the programme, the candidate should be able to:  
 
Learn the main concepts of object - oriented programming and design.
Write some application routines and programs using visual development environment.
Examine the broader context of organisational change to include generic change programmes, such as business process re-engineering and total quality management.
Evaluate and choose the most appropriate technology for implementing databases.
Stimulate analysis and develop a critical approach to website design and construction.
