industry, business, government and the home. Many of the
products and services that people use require the use of a
computer, and increasingly, electronic devices are integrated
into products like cars, phones, mobile phones, household
appliances and office equipment, as well as services such as
banking, transportation and even immigration. Management of
information data is a crucial part of all business that need to
analyze, improvise and respond to market demands with speed and
accuracy.
There are many
aspects of study for those interested in taking up careers in
this area. The Faculty of Science has been carefully structured
to provide programs that balance skills, concepts and theories
aimed at developing competence in both technical and academic
areas.
The faculty
provides a range of programs designed to expose students to
object-oriented programming, information systems for business,
software development and digital multimedia. State-of-the-art
equipment and software is vital for successful and effective
study. The IT Centre provides a wide range of specialized
computing and multimedia laboratories with sophisticated work
stations that are equipped with strong networks and broadband
Internet access. Academic staffs are experienced professionals
who continue to be involved in research and consultancy work.
They work closely with industry as well as government on a

Microbes are a
diverse and fascinating group of organisms and without them
there would be no life on this planet - they are the most vital
of living things. Microbes are news - they cause public
alarm and sometimes raise public hopes, but if truth be told
most people know precious little about microscopic organisms.
Hardly a day goes without the mention of a microorganism of some
sort in the media. Newspaper headlines such as 'Deadly
virus baffles doctors', 'Killer bug ate my face!' are
common. On completion of this module you will have had an
introduction to the full range of microbial life, to the
techniques used to study micro-organisms and to the
interactions, both beneficial and adverse, between microbes and
man. You should be able to describe the general structures of
microbes, especially fungi, bacteria and viruses; understand how
they may be manipulated safely in the laboratory, and will have
been given an overview of environmental, industrial, food and
medical microbiology. The course also provides training in
practical techniques employed in Microbiology. |
