Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons)
Study level : Degree
Programme : MU-BIT
The Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) is a three-year programme. The programme is designed uniquely with four different areas of specialisation: i.e. Data Management, Game Computing, Mobile Computing and Network Computing. Students can choose their preferred specialisation to develop the necessary knowledge and industry-specific technological skills.
Upon completion of seven semesters, students will proceed to industrial training at the end of Year 3 semester 2. At the end of the training, the students are required to submit a report while the industries are required to evaluate and report on the students` job performance. This industrial training is necessary to meet the requirements of the accreditation by MQA. Students gain real work experience in writing reports on technical works/projects.
This programme not only prepares students with advanced theoretical and practical skills but also exposes them to the strategical planning and management of projects. In the final year, the research project in this programme will enable students to take on R&D with commercialization, develop the academic and practical aspects of the chosen area of study and reinforce independent learning skills. This is where students will demonstrate higher level; critical thinking analysis and solutions development skills which will enhance their employability.
