Singapore, 15 September 2003
In line with offering greater flexibility and more options for its students, PurpleTrain.com is proud to announce the launch of the newly repackaged Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Computing. Specially designed for students who hold GCE 'A' Level qualifications or its equivalent, the Diploma in Computing (DIC) course allows students to attain a more in-depth understanding in the areas of computing and information technology. Upon completion of the Diploma in Computing, students will proceed on to the Advanced Diploma in Computing (ADIC). Upon completion of the ADIC, students now have an additional pathway to universities. With this new structure, students may choose to pursue their degree through the University of Portsmouth (Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing) and also through another prestigious UK university, the University of Wales (Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Business Computing & Information Technology programme). NCC Education, one of the world's leading IT qualification-awarding
bodies, will continue to validate both programmes; this assures
students that the quality and academic standard of these courses
are not compromised.
Similarly, in the current ADIC programme, there are 8 compulsory core modules to be completed. However, with the repackage of the ADIC programme, students will be given the choice of any 2 electives from 4 options.
***Compulsory modules for students who wish to gain entry into University of Wales Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Business Computing & Information Technology programme
Existing DIC and ADIC students are required to convert their studies to the new structure as soon as possible to enjoy the flexibility the programmes offer. The current structure will be phased out eventually. Current modules will be offered for the last time in October 2003 with the last examinations to be held in August 2004. Students will unquestionably continue to enjoy all the benefits of e-Learning offered by PurpleTrain.com which allow them to pursue academic qualifications at their own time and convenience.
