Accountancy
is the art of communicating financial
information about a business entity to
users such as shareholders and managers.
The communication is generally in the
financial´s form statements that
show in money terms the economic resources
under the control of management; the art
lies in selecting the information that
is relevant to the user and is reliable.
Accountancy is a branch of mathematical
science that is useful in discovering
the causes of success and failure in business.
The principles of accountancy are applied
to business entities in three divisions
of practical art, named accounting, book-keeping,
and auditing.
Accounting is defined by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) as “the art of recording,
classifying, and summarizing in a significant
manner and in terms of money, transactions
and events which are, in part at least,
of financial character, and interpreting
the results thereof.” |

Advertising
is a non-personal form of communication
intended to persuade an audience (viewers,
readers or listeners) to purchase or take
some action upon products, ideals, or
services. It includes the name of a product
or service and how that product or service
could benefit the consumer, to persuade
a target market to purchase or to consume
that particular brand. These brands are
usually paid for or identified through
sponsors and viewed via various media.
Advertising can also serve to communicate
an idea to a mass amount of people in
an attempt to convince them to take a
certain action. Several types of mass
media are: television, internet, radio,
news programs, and published pictures
& articles.
Commercial advertisers often
seek to generate increased consumption
of their products or services through
branding, which involves the repetition
of an image or product name in an effort
to associate related qualities with the
brand in the minds of consumers. Different
types of media can be used to deliver
these messages, including traditional
media such as newspapers, magazines, television,
radio, outdoor or direct mail; or new
media such as websites and text messages.
Advertising may be placed by an advertising
agency on behalf of a company or other
organization.

Architecture
can mean :
• The art and science of designing
and erecting buildings and other physical
structures.
• The practice of an architect,
where architecture means to offer or render
professional services in connection with
the design and construction of
a building, or group of buildings and
the space within the site surrounding
the buildings, that have as their principal
purpose human occupancy
or use.
• A general term to describe buildings
and other structures.
• A style and method of design and
construction of buildings and other physical
structures.
Architecture is both the process and product
of planning, designing and constructing
form, space and ambience that reflect
functional, technical, social, and aesthetic
considerations. It requires the creative
manipulation and coordination of material,
technology, light and shadow. Architecture
also encompasses the pragmatic aspects
of realising buildings and structures,
including scheduling, cost estimating
and construction administration. As documentation
produced by architects, typically drawings,
plans and technical specifications, architecture
defines the structure and/or behavior
of a building or any other kind of system
that is to be or has been constructed.
Architects plan, design and review the
construction of buildings and structures
for the use of people.
Architects also coordinate and integrate
engineering design, which has as its primary
objective the creative manipulation of
materials and forms using mathematical
and scientific principles. |

It
is not just money and ‘success’
that makes you want to become an actor.
There is the thrill of performance, the
ability to affect an audience by creating
an emotional experience, to have an artistic
experience yourself in performing. In
order to do this, you need to know what
you are doing and a course in acting will
train you for this and more. Professional
musicians, athletes and dancers, embark
on a lifetime of training that never ends
and the same should be true for actors
and those who wish to work in the theatre.

Automotive
Engineering is the combination of mechanical
engineering, vehicle dynamics, drivetrain
engineering and engine design to form
a subject that deals with all aspects
of vehicle design. Automotive engineers
study such subjects as aerodynamics, vehicle
ride and handling, power generation, cashworthiness
and even management, looking at every
component in modern vehicle construction.
The entire automotive drivetrain, including
the suspension, transmission, brakes,
tyres and engine, can be modelled and
simulated on computer making developement
of new components/vehicles a quick and
relatively inexpensive process.As we move
into the 21st century, the automobile,
in all its forms, will continue to develop,
performance, safety and fuel economy will
continue to improve and exhaust emissions
will continue to reduce. Automotive engineers

and location. Universal banks attempt
to offer their customers the full spectrum
of financial services under the one roof.
A universal bank participates in many
kinds of banking activities and is both
a Commercial bank and an Investment bank.
Banks offer many different channels to
access their banking and other services:
Bank branch, ATM, mail, telephone banking,
online banking, mobile banking, video
banking.
Under English common law, a banker
is defined as a person who carries on
the business of banking, which is specified
as:

Bioinformatics
is the application of computer technology
to the management of biological information.
Computers are used to gather, store, analyze
and integrate biological and genetic information
which can then be applied to gene-based
drug discovery and development. The need
for Bioinformatics capabilities has been
precipitated by the explosion of publicly
available genomic information resulting
from the Human Genome Project. The science
of Bioinformatics, which is the melding
of molecular biology with computer science,
is essential to the use of genomic information
in understanding human diseases and in
the identification of new molecular targets
for drug discovery.

Computer
Science or Computing Science is the study
of the theoretical foundations of information
and computation, and of practical techniques
for their implementation and application
in computer systems. It is frequently
described as the systematic study of algorithmic
processes that create, describe, and transform
information.
Computer science has many
sub-fields; some, such as computer graphics,
emphasize the computation of specific
results, while others, such as computational
complexity theory, study the properties
of computational problems. Still others
focus on the challenges in implementing
computations. For example, programming
language theory studies approaches to
describe computations, while computer
programming applies specific programming
languages to solve specific computational
problems, and human-computer interaction
focuses on the challenges in making computers
and computations useful, usable, and universally
accessible to people.
The focus of computer
science is more on understanding the properties
of the programs used to implement software
such as games and web-browsers, and using
that understanding to create new programs
or improve existing ones.

Communication
Studies is an academic field that deals
with processes of communication, commonly
defined as the sharing of symbols over
distances in space and time. Hence, communication
studies encompasses a wide range of topics
and contexts ranging from face-to-face
conversation to speeches to mass media
outlets such as television broadcasting.
Communication studies, as a discipline,
is also often interested in how audiences
interpret information and the political,
cultural, economic, and social dimensions
of speech and language in context.
Communication is institutionalized under
many different names at different universities
and in various countries, including "communications",
"communication studies", "speech
communication", "rhetorical
studies", "communications science",
"media studies", "communication
arts", "mass communication",
"media ecology," and sometimes
even "mediology" although the
latter is a different area of study.

Culinary
Art is the art of preparing and cooking
foods. The word "culinary" is
defined as something related to, or connected
with, cooking. A culinarion is a person
working in the culinary arts. Culinary
artists are responsible for skilfully
preparing meals that are as pleasing to
the palate as to the eye. They are required
to have a knowledge of the science of
food and an understanding of diet and
nutrition. They work primarily in restaurants,
delicatessens, hospitals and other institutions.
Kitchen conditions vary depending on the
type of business, restaurant, nursing
home, etc. The occupation for dietitians,
nutritionist, chefs,restaurant managers
is fairly good, "with as fast as
the average" growth. Increasingly
a college education with formal qualifications
is required for success in this field.

Design
is the planning that lays the basis for
the making of every object or system.
The term "to design" refers
to the process of originating and developing
a plan for a product, structure, system,
or component with intention. It is used
for either the final (solution) plan (e.g.
proposal, drawing, model, description)
or the result of implementing that plan
in the form of the final product of a
design process.
Designing often requires a designer to
consider the aesthetic, functional, and
many other aspects of an object or a process,
which usually requires considerable research,
thought, modeling, interactive adjustment,
and re-design.
Methods of Design is a broad area that
focuses on:
• Exploring possibilities
and constraints by focusing critical thinking
skills to research and define problem
spaces for existing products
or services—or
the creation of new categories
• Redefining the specifications
of design solutions which can lead to
better guidelines for traditional design
activities (graphic, industrial,
architectural, etc.);
• Managing the process of exploring,
defining, creating artifacts continually
over time;
• Prototyping possible scenarios,
or solutions that incrementally or significantly
improve the inherited situation;
• Trendspotting; understanding the
trend process.

of study that includes the natural environment,
built environment, and the sets of relationships
between them. Environmental studies incorporates
more of the social sciences for understanding
human relationships, perceptions and policies
towards the environment.
While distinct from ecology and environmental
science, the discipline encompasses study
in the basic principles of those two fields
of learning as well as the associated
subjects, such as: policy, politics, law,
economics, sociology and other social
aspects, planning, pollution control,
natural resources, and the interactions
of human beings and nature.

Economics
is the social science that studies the
production, distribution, and consumption
of goods and services. In other words,
Economics is the study of how individuals
and societies choose to employ those resources:
what goods and services will be produced,
how they will be produced, and how they
will be distributed among the members
of society.
Furthermore, Economics is often described
as a body of knowledge or study that
discusses how a society tries to solve
the human problems of unlimited wants
and scarce resources. Because economics
is associated with human behavior, the
study of economics is classified as
a social science. Because economics
deals with human problems, it cannot
be an exact science and one can easily
find differing views and descriptions
of economics. The elements that constitute
the study of economics are: wants, needs,
scarcity, resources, goods and services,
economic choice, and the laws of supply
and demand.

to convey a specific message to a targeted
audience. The term "graphic design"
can also refer to a number of artistic
and professional disciplines that focus
on visual communication and presentation.
The field is also often referred to as
Visual Communication or Communication
Design.
Various methods are used to create and
combine words, symbols, and images to
create a visual representation of ideas
and messages. A graphic designer may use
typography, visual arts and page layout
techniques to produce the final result.
Graphic design often refers to both the
process (designing) by which the communication
is created and the products (designs)
which are generated.
Common uses of graphic design include
identity (logos and branding), web sites,
publications (magazines, newspapers, and
books), advertisements and product packaging.
Composition is one of the most important
features of graphic design, especially
when using pre-existing materials or diverse
elements. |

two approaches to health science: the
study and research of the food that we
eat; and the study and research of health-related
issues to understand how humans and other
animals function, and the application
of that knowledge to improve health and
to prevent and cure diseases. The health
sciences industry is a cross-section of
the life sciences and the health care
and medical diagnostics industries.
Health research builds upon the natural
sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics
as well as a variety of multidisciplinary
fields. Some of the other primarily research-oriented
fields that make contributions to health
science are biochemistry, epidemiology,
genetics, and pharmacology. Some of the
applied health specializations and professions
are: alternative medicine, biomedical
engineering, biotechnology, clinical laboratory

current events, trends, issues and people.
Those who practice journalism are known
as journalists. Journalism covers organizations
and institutions such as government and
business, cultural aspects of society
such as arts and entertainment. The field
includes jobs such as editing, photojournalism,
and documentary.
In other words, Journalism is the investigation
and reporting of events, issues, and trends
to a broad audience. In order for a journalist
to fulfill their duty of providing the
people with the information they need
to be free and self-governing. They must
follow these guideline :
1. Journalism's first obligation is to
the truth.
2. Its first loyalty is to the citizens.
3. Its essence is discipline of verification.
4. Its practitioners must maintain an
independence from those they cover.
5. It must serve as an independent monitor
of power.
6. It must provide a forum for public
criticism and compromise.
7. It must strive to make the significant

Law
is a system of rules, usually enforced
through a set of institutions. It shapes
politics, economics and society in numerous
ways and serves as a primary social mediator
of relations between people. All legal
systems deal with the same basic issues,
but each country categorises and identifies
its legal subjects in different ways.
A common distinction is that between "public
law" (a term related closely to the
state, and including constitutional, administrative
and criminal law), and "private law"
(which covers contract, tort and property).
In civil law systems, contract and tort
fall under a general law of obligations,
while trusts law is dealt with under statutory
regimes or international conventions.
International, constitutional and administrative
law, criminal law, contract, tort, property
law and trusts are regarded as the "traditional
core subjects", although there are
many further disciplines which may be
of greater practical importance. |

media. We need therefore to understand
and ask fundamental questions about the
media, its organisation, representations,
audiences and possible impacts and influences.
Media Communications examines media as
diverse as film, television, radio, newspapers,
magazines, the internet, mobile phones
and videogames. It equip you with the
essential critical toolkit for analysing
the media and conducting media research.
It give you the opportunity to explore
issues of media power and the everyday,
examining for example the influence of

Nursing
is a healthcare profession focused on
the care of individuals, families, and
communities so they may attain, maintain,
or recover optimal health and quality
of life from birth to death. Nurses work
in a large variety of specialties where
they work independently and as part of
a team to assess, plan, implement and
evaluate care.
The unique function of the nurse is to
assist the individual, sick or well, in
the performance of those activities contributing
to health or its recovery (or to peaceful
death) that he would perform unaided if
he had the necessary strength, will or
knowledge.
Nursing practice is primarily the caring
relationship between the nurse and the
person in their care. In providing nursing
care, nurses are implementing the nursing
care plan, which is based on a nursing
assessment.

Pharmacy
is the health profession that links the
health sciences with the chemical sciences,
and it is charged with ensuring the safe
and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs.
The scope of pharmacy practice includes
more traditional roles such as compounding
and dispensing medications, and it also
includes more modern services related
to health care, including clinical services,
reviewing medications for safety and efficacy,
and providing drug information. Pharmacists,
therefore, are the experts on drug therapy
and are the primary health professionals
who optimize medication use to provide
patients with positive health outcomes.
An establishment in which pharmacy
is practiced is called a pharmacy, chemist's
or drug store. The field of Pharmacy
can generally be divided into three
primary disciplines: Pharmaceutics,
Medicinal chemistry and Pharmacognosy,
Pharmacy practice. Pharmacology is sometimes
considered a fourth discipline of pharmacy.
Although pharmacology is essential to
the study of pharmacy, it is not specific
to pharmacy. Therefore it is usually
considered to be a field of the broader
sciences.
Other specializations in pharmacy practice
recognized by the Board of Pharmaceutical
Specialties include: cardiovascular,
infectious disease, oncology, pharmacotherapy,
nuclear, nutrition, and psychiatry.

Science
is a systematic enterprise of gathering
knowledge about the world and organizing
and condensing that knowledge into testable
laws and theories. It includes the use
of careful observation, experiment, measurement,
mathematics, and replication — to
be considered a science, a body of knowledge
must stand up to repeated testing by independent
observers. The use of the scientific method
to make new discoveries is called Scientific
Research, and the people who carry out
this research are called Scientists. The
purpose of science is to produce useful
models of reality. Applied science or
engineering is the practical application
of scientific knowledge.
Science as defined above is sometimes
called pure science to differentiate it
from applied science, which is the application
of research to human needs.

Telecom
Engineering is a major field within electronic
engineering. The work ranges from basic
circuit design to strategic mass developments.
A telecommunication engineer is responsible
for designing and overseeing the installation
of telecommunications equipment and facilities,
such as complex electronic switching systems,
copper telephone facilities, and fiber
optics. Telecom engineering also overlaps
heavily with broadcast engineering. It
is a diverse field of engineering including
electronics, civil, structural, and electrical
engineering, as well as being a political
and social ambassador, a little bit of
accounting and a lot of project management.
Ultimately, telecom engineers are responsible
for providing the method for customers
to have telephone and high-speed data
services.
