Description

The BSc (Hons) Computing Science at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia is a three-year full-time undergraduate degree that prepares students for careers at the forefront of the digital revolution by developing a strong foundation in software development, algorithms and cutting-edge computing technologies. The programme combines core theoretical knowledge with practical experience across key areas such as programming, data structures, computer systems, database management, artificial intelligence and computer network security, and culminates in a year-long individual final-year project that challenges students to design and implement robust, usable systems for industry and commerce. In the first two years, students study essential units in computer science, information technology and mathematics, and also complete industrial training between Years 2 and 3 to gain real-world experience, while in the final year they can deepen their expertise through specialisations in streams such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or Graphics and Visualisation—supported by the research expertise of academic staff. The programme emphasises a balance of theory and practical skills, preparing graduates to pursue professional roles in software engineering, data science, cybersecurity and related fields, and offers global opportunities such as inter-campus experiences in the UK or Dubai.
