CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
The objective of this course is to give a thorough introduction to the concepts for organizing, querying and
managing databases. This course introduces the concepts relating to information systems in organizational
usage, focusing on the analysis and modelling of data. It covers the fundamentals of databases, the process
of database design, including data modelling, and in particular the Entity Relationship. Students will gain a
sound practical understanding of the SQL relational query language. They will also develop deep technical
knowledge in a relational DBMS and a sense of professionalism and team work discipline.
