| Computer Science and Management Mathematics |
This is a double major
course where equal weightage is placed between Computer Science
and Management 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. |
Students are also trained in mathematical
techniques, which would greatly enhance their
skill in computer science. The mathematics
training prepares students for more advanced
mathematics relevant to applications of
mathematics to business management and
social sciences. The management mathematics
subjects include algebra, calculus and statistics. |
 |
| Academic and Professional Progression |
The standard of the Diploma in
Science (Computer
Science and Management 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 Management 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 in
a wide area of industries, such as banking and
finance, manufacturing, consultancy firms, insurance, software houses
and computer
vendors. Graduates may work as programmers, end-user support staff,
assistant system
analysts, IT administrators or executives, systems officers, database
administrators, web
designers and other related jobs. |
