Learners are taught mandatory foundational courses and proceed to decide on specialisation streams, which consist of Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Computer Vision and Human Computer Interaction.

Learning is delivered through a combination of traditional lectures, seminars, and practical laboratory classes, using industry-standard tools and practices for software creation.
