Actually theres a new curriculum being implemented from next intake onwards leh. I havent attended the briefing for it so I dont really know what its about. So the people here may not give you accurate answers also with regards to subject scope.

I only know the old intro mods, 114 and 124 (C++) will no longer be offered, will move to 115 and 125 instead (Java I think)

Hi, it doesn't answer my question. Does it have overseas exchange or everything is based in SG until you graduate?

I'm only y1 gg y2 but I have not heard anything about overseas exchange. Maybe seniors from y2 or y3 can answer your query.

There will be an open house conducted on the 9th and 10th of March, I strongly suggest that you head down to the open house

There is a overseas exchange program in Year 3. It's a 6 months trip to Australia. Fees will be the same as the one paid in SG but plane tix and lodging have to settle ourselves.

Hello everyone, i am a poly graduate with a diploma in biz but i am really interested and passionate about IT

I actually want to acquire a degree so that i can be a software engineer/programmer ( even website designing appeals to me) in the future.

Can i ask if the curriculum provided by UOW is better than UOL for this purpose? Should i take the computer science degree in UOW or the computing information technology in UOL?

I have also noticed that both schools dont teach us about the different programming languages (?) Can i ask if thats true? Or is it included in the programming module ?

Can i also ask if degree holders of UOW or UOL is recognized by business in singapore ? Like any disadvantaged

I don't think anyone can provide you with an accurate answer yet. The current curriculum is being phased out for a new curriculum, the first phase starts next semester.

Majority of the assignments are individual.

The only group work assignments that i can think of during my time:

1. All assignments for CSCI222
2. All Labs tutorials for CSCI319
3. Assignment 2 for CSCI358
4. Assignment 2 for CSCI322

I think UOW is more well known for their IT related courses as compared to UOL. UOL seems to focusing on business area than IT.

It doesn't matter which school is better. More importantly, you which area of IT you are more interested in. You should review the course programme structure about the modules you will be learning during the course of study.

Computing information technology in UOL is a degree with honours which generally required longer time for u to complete the course as well as the course fee is slightly higher.

Hey thanks for your input on this matter.

I actually have read through what both schools has to offer and UOW seems more wholesome and offer courses which i think will be more applicable in the future but both schools dont seem to teach programming languages???

And i made this post here hoping to gain more input about this matter =/ IE their experience and opinions of both schools, pros and cons etc

In UOW DSS, you will be learning C/C++, Java, Shell Script, SQl, etc, etc . When you are doing ur FYP, mostly likely you are being forced to pick up other languages which you will not be taught by the school. E.g. HTML, IOS, Android, Apache, etc in order for you to complete your FYP.

In UOL, if you take a close look, UOL do offer programming related modules such as "INTRODUCTION TO JAVA AND OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING", "CREATIVE COMPUTING 1: IMAGE, SOUND, MOTION", "GRAPHICAL OBJECT-ORIENTED AND INTERNET PROGRAMMING IN JAVA", "ADVANCED GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION","DATABASE SYSTEMS".

It is impossible for the school to teach you all the languages. The school may teach you a few languages. Once you master it, picking up another language shouldn't be a problem

Although UOL business students are allowed to choose their own timetable but UOW students are not allowed to do so. Not sure about UOL IT student.

In UOW, there will be 2 modules for each semester (3 months per semester). Hence, students will need to complete 8 modules per year. After deducting the semester break (usually 3 weeks), you left with 9 weeks (per semester).

As far as i know, in UOL, each semester lasted for a year. That means, if the student couldn't make it in the end, he/she have to repeat the entire year which is kind of wasting their money/time.

Thanks for the info!

In your opinion, are the lecturers able to teach well?

Are you in DSS?

Is there a difference between lecturer quality between part time and full time?
