"I joined NTU after attending an open day and finding out more about the course. The C++ programming language appealed to me as I felt it was an interesting and powerful language.

"I also liked the fact that it is not just a programming based course. It gives a good insight into computing systems as a whole and how different types of scheduling can be used to increase the performance of an operating system.

"The networking labs have everything you need such as network routers, hubs, switches, servers and computers with administrative privileges to create functioning networks.

"Different topics have taught me a variety of skills including: fault finding techniques, time management skills and the tools to improve programme functionality. Plus I now fully understand the functioning of a computer system and the separate hardware uses within a system. As a result of my course I can now confidently create secure networking structures within a business environment."
