CITS1401 Computational Thinking with Python (2026S1)

Welcome to the unit CITS1401!

Computational Thinking with Python aims to provide students with problem solving and programming skills in Python programming language. 

CITS1402 Relational Database Management Systems (2026S1)

In this unit, we will explore the foundations of relational databases, SQL, data modelling, and database design principles. You will develop practical skills in designing, querying, and managing structured data which are essential knowledge for careers in computing, data science, and software development. For a detailed description of the unit, please refer to the Unit Introduction Lecture in Week 1.

Please check the course announcements regularly, as important updates will be communicated there. Note that some unit materials including lecture notes, lab tasks, and workshop documents may be updated during the semester.
