BSc Honours Degree in Information Systems

The Information Systems Degree Programme caters to the objective of producing Information Systems (IS) graduates who possess a thorough knowledge of basic principles of computing and information systems, with special attention devoted to large and critical systems, to meet the demand of government and non-government institutes and industries. The Degree Programme addresses both analytical and practical skills essential to developing computerised systems locally and internationally.

The curriculum of this Programme aims to prepare students for careers in information systems. The curriculum is well aligned with current and future industry IT requirements, including software engineering, object-oriented approach, computer networks, and mobile technologies. The students are given continuous professional exposure throughout their academic tenure in the form of module assignments, practical training, and a final year thesis. The students learn how to apply the principles of information system concepts to the design, creation, testing, and evaluation of software systems.

The Degree Programme also aims to develop students' leadership, managerial, and communication skills. The students are also put into practice working under minimal supervision through group and individual projects.

Beyond the technical competency of students, the Degree Programme also aims to build students with civil responsibility and ethical behaviour, which should be a compulsory part of the industrial training of an Information Systems (IS) career professional. It also aims to develop social cooperation to promote culture, peace, and equal rights regardless of gender, race, and specific personal circumstances of all members of the university community.
