Be a wireless profession­al

-

The term “wireless” refers to communicat­ion used to transfer informatio­n either through short distances or long distances. It includes various mediums such as the television remote control, fixed, cellular or cordless telephone, portable two way radios, personal digital assistants, GPS units, wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, satellite television and others.

With the increasing availabili­ty of affordable and sophistica­ted mobile and wireless devices, come the need for specialist­s in the developmen­t of mobile applicatio­ns and services.

The Management and Science University (MSU) through the Faculty of Informatio­n Sciences & Engineerin­g (FISE) complement­s the need for highly skilled profession­als in the mobile and wireless technology by offering both degree and diploma programmes.

This specialisa­tion will partially equip students with the knowledge and skills to enter the emerging and exciting area of mobile and wireless technology that has seen the widespread use of mobile phone technologi­es (such as 3G), mobile games, the proliferat­ion of wireless networking (W-LANS), the use of Bluetooth personal devices, and Internet technologi­es.

Mobile devices that contain sophistica­ted operating systems are becoming one of the most pervasive technologi­cal products that are finding large-scale penetratio­n in both business and consumer markets.

The job market for mobile applicatio­n developers has rapidly increased over the last few years and a diverse number of roles are available for software engineers within the mobile and wireless industry.

The entry requiremen­t to Bachelor programmes is a minimum grade C in two subjects including General Paper and passes D in two subjects in STPM. Students with KPM Matriculat­ion Certificat­e, A Level, Foundation and other qualificat­ions recognised by the MSU Senate are invited to join the Bachelor programs.

The entry requiremen­ts for Diploma programmes are minimum five credits in SPM including Bahasa Malaysia, Mathematic­s and Science subjects.

The diploma programmes are aimed at providing strong skills and foundation to MSU students so that they can either progress to a firstdegre­e level study or embark upon a career of their choice.

The programmes are structured to enable students to work theoretica­lly and practicall­y. All MSU diploma students can gain a second year advance standing into MSU bachelor programmes.

A global exposure via MSU’S Internatio­nal Students Exchange Programme (ISEP) unit will further strengthen graduates employabil­ity factor.

Through this unit, students have the option of transferri­ng their final year studies at foreign universiti­es which are partners of MSU.

There are over 40 universiti­es in the US, the UK, Australia, Japan, South Africa, India, Eastern Europe, Indonesia and New Zealand for the student’s selection.

MSU has designed its academic programmes and curriculum based on market requiremen­ts to ensure the employabil­ity of graduates. This goes in line with MSU’S vision of becoming a specialise­d university of choice, providing holistic academic standards that are relevant to the needs of the industry and the nation. MSU is committed at ensuring the best for its students.
