Apart from Mobile Application Development, students of the Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) degree can specialize in Digital Marketing, Network & Mobile Computing, Network Security and Software Engineering. They can choose their specialization from Year 2 of the programme. Strong emphasis is places on applied knowledge with 50 percent of the curriculum based on practical application. Employer projects as well as internship with organizations such as INTEL Technology, Sony, CSC Malaysia, Khind Holdings, Silverlake Sprints and others provide strong innovative learning and individual development opportunities.
The Bachelor of Computer Science degree is fully validated by the UK’s Coventry University and dual awards are conferred on graduates by Coventry University and INTI International University.
