"The Higher Diploma in Science in Computing at DBS proved to be very valuable in gaining employment in the ICT sector. The course content was well organised and it covered all relevant ICT topics.

What I enjoyed most about DBS was the people I met while i was there. The staff were very helpful and were always able to assist. The facilities are second to none and the library is equipped with all the latest technology and up to date reference material.

The best thing about this programme is the relationship between staff and students. Everyone is willing to share their knowledge and experience to help ensure everyone achieves their long term career goals.

Thanks to this course, I have now commenced a full time permanent position with a leading ICT company."
