The curriculum is generally relevant to industry needs but some areas might benefit from more specialized topics Preparation for the real world is 7/10 the curriculum provides a solid foundation but some students find it lacking in practical and hands on experience and industry specialists skills Suggested improvements: 1 Incorporate more case studies and internships apart from the assignments and practical files 2 enhance the online resources for the students 3 provide some good source of contact so that the students can contact and ask their queries Frequency and timing of exam: Term end exams- held twice an year in june and December Assignment submission- usually dates spread throughout the semester Practical exams- scheduled seperately in applicable on course
