Core
Modules
There are three types of Core modules: General, Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific modules. General modules aim to ground you in generic skills such as those in cognitive processes, linguistic and communication, cultural, entrepreneurial, and personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your knowledge of Information Technology while specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the specific area within IT Service Management that you have chosen to pursue.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Freely chosen modules are
offered by schools and centres. Students are free to
choose additional modules over and above the
required DBA modules. |
