Program Description
The development and implementation of Software and Programming Solutions and technologies have
changed the way humans live. The tools of Information and Communication Technologies with the Smart
Technologies and Devices provide powerful tools to easy our life, do businesses more efficient and provide
quality services. However, the demand to create and develop more sophisticated programming solutions
and innovative software products continues to evolve, and remains crucial particularly for the Saudi
marketplace. The Bachelor of Computer Programming program comes in this critical time to enable the
students to gain the theoretical, practical, technical, professional and interpersonal abilities, as well as
problem solving and decision making skills, needed for working in different sectors of the Saudi
marketplace and for various Saudi companies in the area of Information and Communication Technologies.
This program aims to prepare professional computer and software programmers with the technical and
managerial capabilities and competencies to engage in the development of computer systems, software
applications, information systems, database applications, Smartphone applications, web services and
platforms, etc.

The courses in the Bachelor of Computer Programming focus on different core topics including
programming languages, software engineering and development, web technologies, Smartphone
technologies and applications, coding testing and security, etc. The skills gained by the students in the
Bachelor of Computer Programming will prepare them after graduation for a career in computer and
software programming industry, and prepare them for further studies at graduate and postgraduate degrees.
The graduates with the Bachelor of Computer Programming degree will be able to pursue a wide range of
careers with high rates of salaries including, but are not limited to: Computer Programmer, Information
System Programmer, Software Developer, System Developer, Software and Coding Tester, Software
Solutions Programmer, System Analyst, System Designer, Web Developer, Database Programmer,
Smartphone Applications Developer, Business Process Analyst, and other careers.
The Theoretical and Practical Tests and Graduation Projects Determine Learning Outcomes and
Trainee Levels for each program.
The training courses contain a theoretical part and a practical part. The practical part is tested as a
practical test and the theoretical part is a theoretical test with different evaluation methods.
The Bachelor Degree Graduate gets the seventh level in the Saudi Arabian Qualifications Framework
(SAQF).
Admission Requirements: The applicant must have a diploma in Computer Programming.

Course description :This course enhances the programming skills of the students. It emphasizes the
importance of information hiding and how to use abstraction in good program design. This course
introduce the basic data structures and algorithm analysis which are to be used as tools in designing
solutions to problems. This course includes: algorithm analysis and design where students will be able to
estimate algorithms growth rates and describe it using big O notation. Data structures includes: lists and
linked-lists, stacks, queues, priority queues, trees and its traversal, binary search trees, heaps, hash tables
and graphs and graphs’ algorithms. Also, important sorting and searching algorithms will be discussed
including: bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, merge sort, heap sort and radix sort, sequential search
and binary search.

Topics :
 Basics of algorithm analysis
 Arrays and Linked lists
 Stacks
 Queues
 Trees

Course description :This course follows Software Engineering course (at diploma degree) as it continues the
investigation into software development life cycle to its end. Students will be exposed to an in-depth coverage of
design (architectural design, interface design). They will be introduced to different approaches to software
development (e.g. Rapid Software Development, Extreme programming, and Component Based Software
Engineering) and system integration (validation, verification, inspections and dynamic testing techniques). This
course also introduces students to the program evolution process, software maintenance, managing the code,
documentation, configuration management, and software quality management including software measurements
and metrics.

Course description :
This course introduces the concepts and terminologies of modern Data Base Management
Systems (DBMS). The course focuses on the concepts andusing the statements of the
Structured Query Language (SQL) for the development of DBMS and its applications
towards building relational databases. Thecourse also introduces the tools, techniques and
methods for securing and protection the relational databases with the administrative part
of the DBMS. The students will need to practice in the computer labs using SQL
statements and query language to develop and manipulate relational databases using a
DBMS.
