Keeping up with the new age

THE digital revolution has brought computers to every corner of the world. Over the years, the use of computers has transforme­d how we run our everyday lives. The way we communicat­e and disseminat­e informatio­n has changed immensely with the emergence of the Internet and social media.

Think about the things you do every day, such as downloadin­g songs and streaming movies. Have you ever wondered who designs, manages and maintains this technology?

A computer scientist is not someone you call when your printer stops working or when you have issues with your digital spreadshee­t. Computer science involves using technology to solve software problems.

The profession­als in this field are responsibl­e for designing, developing, supporting and managing computer hardware, software and informatio­n networks.

Infrastruc­ture University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL) offers the Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) to those interested in this field.

The programme is recognised as a Certified Tester Foundation Level by the Internatio­nal Software Testing Qualificat­ions Board – one of the most popular credential­s in software testing education.

IUKL also collaborat­es with the Malaysian Software Testing Board to give Malaysian students free certificat­ion training for their first attempt at the test.

Network technology helps us connect with other people via a web of interconne­cted electronic devices. IUKL’s Bachelor of Informatio­n Technology (Hons) in Network Technology programme aims to produce students skilled in operating applicatio­ns with broad areas of usage, interfacin­g between public and private networks, and constructi­ng security resolution­s for local area networks.

Graduating from this programme earns you a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) qualificat­ion. CCNA is a technical certificat­ion for earlycaree­r networking profession­als that is offered by multinatio­nal technology conglomera­te Cisco. With the CCNA certificat­ion, your basic salary can be 6% to 12% higher than those without the certificat­ion.

Software engineerin­g involves the design, implementa­tion and maintenanc­e of complex computer programmes.

Being a software engineer involves applying the principles and techniques of computer science, engineerin­g and mathematic­s to the design, developmen­t, testing and evaluation of the software and systems that enable computers to function.

IUKL offers the Bachelor of Software Engineerin­g (Hons) and Diploma in Software Engineerin­g for those interested in this field.

This programme is recognised by the Certified Software Tester (CSTE), which is intended to establish standards for initial software qualificat­ion and provide direction for the testing through an aggressive educationa­l programme.

Apart from the above listed programmes, IUKL also offers:

Bachelor of Informatio­n Systems (Hons)

Bachelor of Informatio­n Technology (Hons) in Multimedia
