Description:

Congratulations on completing your O/Ls!


The APIIT Sri Lanka Computing Foundation programme is an APIIT Sri Lanka award approved by University of Staffordshire, UK as an entry qualification for the Staffordshire University Computing degree programmes offered at APIIT. It is designed to inculcate study skills and practices based on sound educational methods, while instilling responsibility for studies in all students. The programme introduces students to the field of computing while developing numerate, digitial literacy, and business and communication skills. 

The Computing Foundation programme prepares students with GCE O/L qualifications who do not wish to puruse GCE A/L studies or those with inadequate GCE A/L qualifications to enter the University of Staffordshire Computing degree programmes. 

The overall rationale of the programme is to prepare students to pursue and complete satisfactorily the degree studies leading to the awards in Computing. 


Teaching & Learning


A diverse range of teaching strategies including lectures, group discussions, presentations, debates, assignments, movement, and a unique project showcase are utilised to develop students’ knowledge and competencies in relation to fundamentals of Computing and Business, digital literacy, analytical skills and numeracy, and communication and language skills. Students are trained to work both in groups and independently during their course of study. 


Modules 


Semester one seeks to equip students with basic study and life skills with the modules English for Academic Purposes and Self & Society as well as discipline-related modules Computing Mathematics and Introduction to Business Environments.
