Additional computer knowledge and skills that you will have mastered with a Computing minor will give you an added advantage in competing with other fellow university graduates.

Aims
The Computing minor aims to broaden your horizon in the rapidly advancing computer field in order to make you more competitive in the business world. To achieve this, you will learn a variety of subjects related to computer. On completion of the minor, you will appreciate the more recent developments in Information technology and will be more capable to pick up job positions that employ computer and information technology.

Special Features
The Computing minor is practice-oriented, covering programming, use of software package and case study. It covers a wide range of disciplines within the computer science field, including internet, database, software engineering, etc. Another special feature is that the course contents are updated in coverage. This includes, for examples, new development in internet applications and modern programming language for business applications.

Career Prospect
Computing minor students can work in many computer-related jobs that employ computer and information technology. This includes business analyst, end-user specialist, or even junior programmer. In this year, you may have heard of university graduates who are still unemployed six months after their graduation. This is not so in the information technology field. Computer professionals are in demand, even under current economic downturns.

Expectation from the Minor
The Computing minor assumes students to have no prior background in programming or computing. No mathematics is required, though a small portion of theoretical contents will also be covered. Students, however, should be willing to study technical materials as Computing is basically a science-oriented (and engineering) discipline.
