1St Semester courses:

CSCI015 - Computer Applications

Description: Computer Applications provides information on basic computing
concepts, theories and the various applications of Information Technology in society.
It also enables you to confidently and competently use an operating system, a
variety of application packages including word processing, spreadsheets, and Power
Point presentations.

ENG011- Academic English

Description: This subject is designed to help students become familiar with
vocabulary and structures that are commonly used in the academic language and
enhance their communication ability in tertiary studies. The subject teaches the
main language components used in lectures, research and assessments. This course
also instructs study skills that are essential to help students improve their academic
performance.

MATH015 - Foundation Mathematics A

Description: The subject is designed for students who are entering degree courses
for which a minimal background in mathematics is desirable. It provides a necessary
basis for all students progressing to the second year of university degree courses in
the business area.
This subject is designed to: 1. Provide the student with a revision of the basic
concepts of mathematics, 2. Extend on these basic concepts, (iii) enhance
manipulative and problem solving skills, 3. Provide ongoing students with the
necessary knowledge and skills for Foundation Mathematics B, and 4. Teach content
including straight line geometry, quadratics, parabolas, matrices (including finding
solutions to simultaneous equations), the exponential and logarithm functions,
limits and differentiation, tangents and normals, and curve sketching.

STAT015 - Introduction to Statistics

Description: The aim of the subject is to provide students the statistical tools
necessary for analysing data for taking business decisions. This subject provides an
introduction to the study of statistics. The emphasis is on ideas and reasoning and
their relevance to public policy and to the human sciences from medicine to
sociology. Students should be able to learn to think about data by working with
data.

2nd Semester courses:

ECON101 - Macroeconomic Essentials for Business
Description: This subject analyses relevant macroeconomic concepts and principles
in an integrated macroeconomic environment. Simple macroeconomic models will
be developed to characterise the interdependencies of the more important
components parts of a macro economy. This will allow students to analyse some real
world problems and to start identifying and formulating appropriate macroeconomic
policies.

ECON111 - Introductory Economics

Description: The aim of this course is to make the basic microeconomic concepts,
elementary techniques, and simple microeconomic models and applications
accessible and understandable to all students. Specifically, students who complete
this subject successfully should know and be able to use the terminology and
graphical techniques of basic microeconomics; understand and be able to explain
the basic theory of demand and supply, including nature and application of price,
cross, and income elasticities; know and be able to explain the basic theory of
production and costs; and know and be able to explain the market behaviour of
firms operating in markets characterised by perfect competition, monopoly,
monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. Students should be able to use the theory
of microeconomics to analyse social issues and policies in areas such as education,
health care and the environment.

MATH020 - Foundation Mathematics B

Description: This subject is designed to: 1. Consolidate the theory and concepts
introduced in math015, 2. Provide the student with mathematical background for
further studies of mathematics and mathematics related subjects, 3. Develop skills
necessary for using standard tables available to students of Mathematics, and 4.
Teach content including trigonometry and related calculus - standard identities,
common values of the trigonometric functions, radian measure, arc length,
unlimited angles, simple trigonometric equations, graphs of the trigonometric
functions, sum of angles, double angles, trigonometric limits, derivatives of
trigonometric functions, integrals of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric
functions, integration using trigonometric substitutions.
