* The course units “Cisco Academy CCNA 2” and “Cisco Academy CCNA 4” are planned in semester 1 for
the regular degree students. But we offer the possibility to exchange student to register for these courses
in semester 2. You then study independently through English course material, but still with the possibility
of tutoring in English.
** The course unit “Project Application Development” can only be followed in combination with the course
unit “Programming Advanced”.
*** The course unit “Project Systems & Networks” can only be followed in combination with at least the
first 3 Cisco curriculum courses.

The student will learn the common web technologies. As introduction the history and the
advancement of the different web standards will be handled (HTML5). He will also learn about the
layout of a web page. CSS is handled throughout the course. The up-to-date technique to subdivide
a page is tested (HTML5 structural elements and CSS positioning). The student will also learn
about the multimedia aspect of web pages. There will be an introduction to more advanced
standards (JavaScript, DOM, PHP and JQuery).

You are part of a group of 4 students. It is your responsibility to deliver a working program based
on a problem case. These problems could be real situations that programmers have to write
software for. The project runs for the entire semester and is divided into several work packages:
 Analysis: "What should the program do?", "What are the requirements of the customer?", "What
should be the user interface of the program?"
 Design: "How do we structure the program?", "How do we share the work?"
 Implementation: "Which programming language is best suited for which task?"
 Documentation: "How should customers install and use our program?"
 Presentation: "How do customers use the program?", "What are the benefits of the program?",
"How is the program structured?"
