The undergraduate BSc degrees and BTEC programmes were revalidated in 1998 by the University as part of the internal quality assurance process. The School aims to become an Oracle academic centre and a SAP competent centre. We would like to apply IT to the need of our community, especially the health services and the media industry. The School believes in enhancing the research and teaching capability of its staff. Funding generated from consultancy and external activities is used for staff development.
Staff attend conferences and training courses regularly.
It is the school policy that all staff are trained in technology based learning. In addition to the continuing improvement of equipment in the School , the University now has a nine-storey Technology Tower with around 750 additional computers. The School has a Virtual School project which applies IT in academic programme administration and management. We play an important role in shaping the use of IT in education in the University. Staff from the School are contributing to the Learning Technology Programme to prepare all the University's academic staff to provide technology based learning.
