馬來西亞博特拉大學

Even though computer system covers both hardware and software, this programme focuses on the development of software skills, particularly on database systems, intelligent computing and information security. Equal attention is also given to computer software design and development, and its application in information processing.

Study on computer architecture provides fundamental understanding on the physical structure of computer, computer components and computer functions. This understanding is very important so that the computer could be utilized as a powerful tool to store and process information. Notation or formalism of information would first be prepared before the processing of the information. This should reflect the information structure and the dedicated processing flow, which leads to the development of software applications that reflect the data structure, algorithm and programming approach needed.

In the real world, computer applications are complex and challenging in their delivery. Therefore, certain algorithm needs to be produced and applied. Furthermore, the vast amount of information to be managed requires knowledge on information management, database administration and information security. In addition, problem-solving alternatives using artificial intelligence, system modeling and simulation, and calculation theories are covered to complete students' information management skills.
