| Computer Science and Computer Mathematics |
In Computer Science, students learn the principles
and skills for information system design and development, including
programming, database design, web page design and development, and
other related subjects. Students will learn programming languages
such as C, XHTML, Java and VB.Net. The mathematics units are specially
planned to be relevant to computer science. |
This diploma course is designed to provide students with a framework
for computing knowledge so that graduates may further their studies
in a computer science or information technology (IT) discipline
without difficulty. It also provides them with a set of defined
competencies that will ensure that they are work ready for semi-professional
positions in the IT or scientific industries. |
 |
| Academic and Professional Progression |
The standard of the Diploma in
Science (Computer
Science and Computer Mathematics) is equivalent
to the 1st year of a relevant Bachelor Degree.
Graduates can further their studies to: |
|
| a) | Advanced Diploma in Science cum
BS Degree (Junior & Senior Years) (Computer Science and Computer
Mathematics) at TAR College. |
| b) | Relevant Bachelor (Honours) Degree
courses at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) or other universities
on advanced standing/credit transfer. |
| Career Prospects |
| Diploma graduates may find employment at
a semi-professional level, such as
programmers, database administrators, network administrators and
technical
officers. Graduates are also suitable for technical roles in computer
or science-based
organisations. |
