Overview of Bachelor in Computer Science Hons in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Malaysia

The Computer Science programme is designed with strong computing fundamental that provides students with the required skills to solve problems and to create future computing technology. The programme offers five specializations; namely Software Technology, Network Technology, Intelligent Machine, Applied Data Science and Information Science which the students will choose in their secondyear.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. Computer science is a fast-moving field that brings together many disciplines, including mathematics, programming, engineering, the natural sciences and linguistics. We offer a flexible programme with strong fundamental of computer science that provides students the desired skills to solve problems and to create future technology as a computer scientist. The programme is divided into four tracks: Software Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Network and High Performance Computing; which the students will be able to choose in the second year. Apart from the 12-weeks industrial training in the third year, the programme also benefited from hands-on training session conducted by our industry partner such as IBM, CISCO, INFOSys and Prestariang.
