It is suitable for first and second year under-graduates and those on further education diploma courses, together with students converting from non-computing or IS degrees to a master’s degree in these subjects.
SSADM version 4+ is used as the medium for discussing the modelling of information systems, present and proposed, and for relational data analysis.
