5. Rationale of the Programme

B.Sc.(Hons) Internet and Multimedia Computing

This innovative course merges the two very demanding and closely relatedtechnologies; Internet and Multimedia into one comprehensive course. The majoraim is at producing multimedia developers with Internet programming experience.

With the current phenomenal growth of the Internet and the usage of multimediaelements in our current daily life, it will be a plus for students to master these two

very demanding and challenging fields. This course will not only enhance thestudents underlying theory of existing Internet and Multimedia technologies but alsoemphasizes on the development of practical applications.

This programme is highly practical in nature with lots of hands-on session in theMultimedia Laboratory. Students are exposed to specific areas which includeMultimedia Technology, Computer Graphics and Animations, Digital Video andSound Technology, Internet Programming, Web Design and Applications, andobject-oriented programming (JAVA).

To ensure a well-rounded and holistic education, the programme also incorporatessoft skills courses like employability skills, critical thinking skills, technical writing and

etc. Compulsory internship has been incorporated into the programme, ensuring thatstudents gain relevant and real-world work experience before graduating.

Upon completing the degree the graduates can embark on careers such asmultimedia application developer, web developer, animator, multimedia consultant,multimedia production specialist, visualization specialist and multimedia designer.

7. Requirements for Graduation

As per Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) guidelines, in order to receive adegree, a student must take those courses required by the university or college, andhave accumulated 109 credit hours. MPW subjects are compulsory for ALLMalaysian students. Students need to do 2 or 3 MPW subject (1 subject will be

exempted if a credit in B.M. has been obtained at the SPM level). Internationalstudents do not need to take MPW subjects. The breakdown of credits are asfollows:

BSc (Hons) in Internet and Multimedia Computing (BIMCI) Academic subjects : 82 credits Compulsory internship : 6 credits 3 Soft Skills Subjects (SSC) : 6 credits 1 Communicative Foreign Language : 2 credits 1 University College Course : 3 credits 3 MPW subjects : 9 credits

8. Modes of Study

In general, institutions of higher education in Malaysia operate on two long and oneshort semester.

In long semester, the academic calendar is usually divided into 14 weeks term. Astudent will normally enroll for 5-6 long semester, 4 to 5 courses per semester.January and August semesters are the long semesters for the degree programmes.

In the short semester, the academic calendar is divided into 8 weeks term with aweek of mid-semester break. A student will normally enroll for 2-3 short semester, 2to 3 courses per semester.May semester is the short semester for the degreeprogrammes.

A minimum course load per a long semester for a full time student in good academicstanding is 12 credit hours. The maximum credit hour per a long semester asstipulated by MQA guidelines are 18 credit hours. As for short semester, theminimum credit hour would be 3 credit hours, where as the maximum as per MQAguidelines would be 9 credit hours.
