About
The three-year Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.) 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. Students will also complete a final year project and undergo industrial training to acquire practical industry experience.
Cybersecurity built on the technical foundation of computer science, the specialization focuses on the array of sophisticated techniques and innovative approaches used to protect data and information systems. Students are exposed to both offensive and defensive security methodologies such as ethical hacking, digital forensics and network security, as well as policies and ethical issues of cybersecurity.
Career Prospects:
Researcher, Programmer, Software Development, Project Manager, System Analyst, Database Administrator, IS/SE Consultant, Game Producer, Game Artist & Visualiser, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Cyber Risk Analyst, Security Penetration Tester, Incident Responder, Digital Forensic Specialist, Security Architect, Security Engineer.

Candidates with CGPA below 2.50 but more than 2.00 must have at least two (2) years of work experience in the related field or may be admitted subject to a thorough internal evaluation process**;
Note:
* Candidates for category (b) need to take a reinforcement Mathematics with appropriate topics in the discipline of Computer Science, Data Science or Software Engineering at the beginning of the study.
Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics as a prerequisite 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 the Reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the Mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Additional Mathematics offered at an SPM level.
** DKM/DLKM/DVM candidates may be required to undergo Bridging Programme as an additional requirement.
