STRU-FOITD v.1 Foundation of Information Technology Stream
Major/Minor/Stream Overview
The Foundation of Information Technology prepares students for undergraduate study in Information Technology. It has four core units that are common to all Foundation courses: Critical thinking, Research and Writing; Computer Productivity, Mathematical Foundations, and Advanced Critical Thinking, Research and Writing. In the Foundations of Information Technology, students study units in management, project management, programming and mathematical foundations (more advanced than the core unit). This is studied over two study periods. Students who have completed the IBCP and had an Academic IELTS score of 6.0 upon entry may receive advanced standing for four modules. The modules for students with such advanced standing are shown as “Single Trimester” in the streamed version of the Program which includes four modules: Advanced Critical Thinking, Research and Writing, Introduction to Project Management, Introduction to Programming and, Mathematical Foundations III. Pathways to further study: Students who successfully complete the Foundation of Information Technology program will be eligible for admission to the Bachelor of Science (Computing) (Information Technology stream) available at Curtin Dubai or at the Curtin Bentley campus (Western Australia).
