This three-year programme equips students with fundamental computing knowledge and the latest technology. In year 1, all students learn common subjects before specialising in one of the following areas – Software Engineering, Game Development, Data Science or Cybersecurity – in the second year. Each designed specialisation prepares students with specific skills. Students will also complete a final year project and undergo industrial training to acquire practical industry experience.

- Pass DKM /DLKM/DVM in Computing fields with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 subjected to HEP Senate / Academic Board’s approval*; OR
- Other relevant & equivalent qualifications recognised by the Malaysian Government. (Candidates can be admitted if their admission qualification contains Mathematics subject(s) equivalent to Additional Mathematics at the SPM level. If it is not equivalent, reinforcement Mathematics subject that equivalent to the SPM level must be offered in first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer); OR
-
Note:
*DKM/DLKM/DVM candidates may be required to undergo Bridging Programme as an additional requirement.
Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics before being allowed to take related core courses. The candidate can sit for any subjects that did not indicate Mathematics as a pre-requisite.
Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit.
Students from Matriculation/Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the Mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Additional Mathematics offered at an SPM level.
