Diploma In Information Technology

This two-year diploma program in Information and Communication Technology equips students with a comprehensive foundation in technical skills, including systems analysis and design, programming, web design and development, database design, operating systems, and data communications and networking. Alongside these technical skills, students develop essential soft skills like communication, presentation, and teamwork, and learn about professional ethics. This program provides hands-on experience and prepares them for both further degree studies in the Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST) or the Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI) at Multimedia University (MMU), and successful careers in the technology sector.
