     Our BIS (Hons) in Mobile Computing with Entrepreneurship programme
     provides students with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of smart
     computing as an integrated mobile information system while further
     developing entrepreneurial skills. Alongside the technical skills gained
     in information systems and mobile technologies, the programme covers
     the development of key business processes and the management skills
     necessary in today’s rapidly changing world of employment, whether you
     want to start your own business or go directly into the tech industry. Students
     in this programme get to work on projects that turn innovative solutions
     into business ideas. The linkage between the programme and the Sunway
     Innovation Lab (iLabs) enables students to bring their ideas and products
     further towards commercialisation.

     This degree is validated by Lancaster University and upon the successful completion of the
     programme, graduates are awarded two certificates: one from Sunway University and another from
     Lancaster University.

     The Alibaba syllabus, which focuses on digital economy and e-commerce, has been incorporated into
     this programme. With the Alibaba collaboration, there are more opportunities and platforms that
     could aspire young entrepreneurs and start-ups to develop their business ideas.

     The BSc (Hons) Information Technology (Computer Networking and
     Security) programme aims to equip students with technical competencies in
     exploring the technology behind computer networks and security systems.
     This programme focuses on networking developments and distributed
     applications within the Internet, corporate networks and the information
     systems in which they interconnect. In terms of computer security,
     students will gain the ability to manage and develop computer systems and
     applications that enhance networking and security within organisations.

     This degree is validated by Lancaster University and upon the successful completion of the
     programme, graduates are awarded two certificates: one from Sunway University and another
     from Lancaster University.

     Students in this programme will experience the latest techniques in IT security and developing
     critical threat-hunting expertise, developed in collaboration with one of the world’s leading
     cybersecurity organisation, RSA.

     Together with EC-Council from USA, our students have the chance to obtain up to two professional
     certificates during their studies. Students may also choose to attend CCNA professional examination.

     The Bachelor of Software Engineering (Hons) empowers students with the
     knowledge and understanding of user requirements in analysing, modelling,
     designing, and developing large-scale software systems that are reliable and
     robust. Such Software Engineering (SE) specialists will be able to respond to
     the ever-growing impact of large-scale software systems in a wide range of
     situations. Furthermore, their training will enable them to select the most
     appropriate and reliable techniques for producing quality software systems
     on time and within budget.

     Together with Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB), who is a member
     of International Software Testing Quality Board (ISTQB) and through their
     partnership with International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB), our
     students have the opportunity to obtain up to two professional certificates
     known as Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) and Certified Professional
     in Requirements Engineering-Foundation Level (CPRE-FL) during their study.
     This industry-linked certificate will be an added advantage for the students,
     making them highly employable graduates.

     This degree is validated by Lancaster University and upon the successful
     completion of the programme, graduates are awarded two certificates:
     one from Sunway University and another from Lancaster University.

     Through this programme, I learnt that data can be explored through many different ways and there can be
     lots of meaningful information that can be discovered. Interesting combination of different subjects such as
     Data Mining, Social Media Analytics, Visual Analytics, etc exposes us to Big Data and Big Data Analytics, as
     well as how they are used in the industry. Thinking outside the box and Data Analytics often requires us to
     analyse situations from a different perspective to develop a better and deeper understanding of it. I enjoyed
     studying this programme.
