The world is changing faster and faster. Many facets of our lives have become digitised. And technical innovations are arriving at breakneck speed. Keeping abreast of new technology and turning it to our advantage require constant learning.
3D printing technology has been developing since the 1980s and is now becoming prevalent in medical applications, consumer goods, dentistry and architecture. Dubai has already created the world's first fully 3D-printed office building, revealing the increasing power of 3D printing to enter every aspect of our lives in the future.
The Internet of Everything (IOE) is bringing together people, processes, data and things. It is the technology behind intelligent homes which connect physical devices embedded with sensors to networks and home owners who can control the devices through their smartphones or laptops. As the technology matures, intelligent homes will no longer be costly one-offs, but ubiquitous developments we can programme by ourselves.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is changing the way we connect with each other by combining audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a variety of integrated and linked systems. This has led to an entirely new landscape of digital and social media that is changing marketing and branding. But as ICT develops, marketers are facing the challenges of ever-changing functions on different digital and social platforms. Only by constantly refreshing their knowledge can marketers be true digital specialists.
At the School we are keeping abreast of all these developments and other evolving online technology and user behaviour. This is why we have revamped our website to incorporate more comprehensive search functions for both part-time and full-time programmes. The revamp also allows users to navigate through their specific interests and study modes to search for designated programmes. A mobile version is also available for access at any time from anywhere.
