Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours) (Data Communications and Networking)

(R3/0611/6/0054) 08/29 (MQA/FA16171)

Data Communications and Networking graduates are expected to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to design, build, maintain and manage network and communication systems in any organisation. Therefore, they will be learning core components of communication, such as Internet Computing, TCP/IP Programming, High-Speed Networks, Client Server Computing and Real Time Systems.

Ultimately, we expect our Data Communications and Networking graduates to branch into areas of communication and apply the knowledge they have acquired in network technology and telecommunications.

  • NOTE
    

    *Candidates with a pass in Mathematics at SPM level need to take and pass the reinforcement Mathematics subject that is equivalent to the SPM level. The reinforcement Mathematics subject must be offered in the first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer.

    **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 prerequisite.

    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 Mathematics offered at an SPM level.
