This programme equips students with relevant ICT knowledge and skills to meet the technological needs of an organisation. Through the 2-year programme, students will acquire essential technical skills and hands-on experience in systems analysis and design, programming, web design and development, database design, operating systems, data communications and networking.

Students will also learn about professional ethics and develop communication, presentation and teamwork skills that are deemed critical for success in today’s workforce. Both the technical and soft skills will prepare them for their degree studies, as well as for future employment.

Upon completion of the diploma programme, students can opt for a related degree programme offered by the Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST) or Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI).
