This module is applicable to Specialist, Expert, Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.D. (Doctor) Programs. This distance learning degree program is designed at the postgraduate level – Master’s or Doctoral. This module may be easily adapted to complete the Specialist, Expert or Bachelor’s adult degree program requirements. A further option is the enrollment into the online university courses listed in this module.
* University Course (3 credits): Select 1 subject from this module.
* Specialist Diploma (15 credits): First 5 subjects or select 5 subjects from this module.
* Expert Diploma (21 credits): First 7 subjects or select 7 subjects from this module.
* Bachelor's Degree (130 credits): The Admission certificate issued after submission of the application for admission will show the amount of credit transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete this undergraduate program's major. Additional courses from other modules of this faculty will be assigned in case that the credits displayed on this module are not enough to complete the bachelor's required credits.
* Master's Degree (35 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 13 credits corresponding to a final project to the selected subjects.
* Ph.D. (Doctor) (45 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 18 credits corresponding to a final thesis to the selected subjects.
BIU issues an admission certificate after receiving your complete application for admission. This document will show the amount of credits transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete the degree program's major. BIU can not perform this evaluation without the complete application for admission.
Courses Description (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
Computation & Data Structure
This course treats data structures and algorithms in computer science. It includes recursion, sequential, linked and dynamic allocation of storage, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hash tables, internal and external sorting and searching. Emphasis is placed on the design, implementation and evaluation of algorithms.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Computer Science
This course provides broad coverage of the entire computer science discipline from a generic perspective, rather than from the context of one particular programming language. It is suitable for students in all fields who are interested in learning how computers work, how they are built and how they communicate with other computers and with their human users.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Computer Architecture
This course offers a study of computer architecture with emphasis on the principles of computer design, instruction set design, processor architecture, memory organization, multiprocessor architecture, interconnection networks, I/O devices and peripherals. It presents the technological and the design principles of computer hardware.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Computer Systems
