Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours)(Intelligent Computing) / Sarjana Muda Sains Komputer (Kepujian) (Perkomputeran Cerdas)

Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.) (Intelligent Computing / Computing Infrastructure / Software Engineering) offshore programme USM-UOWM KDUPG is a 4-year fulltime programme conducted at UOWM KDUPG, Penang. The candidates must complete 132 units to graduate. Upon graduation, graduates will be awarded Computer Science Bachelor’s Degree with Honours either (Intelligent Computing) or (Computing Infrastructure) or (Software Engineering) according to the track they have specialized in. The offshore programme is a joint-programme between UOWM KDUPG and USM via School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (SoCS-USM) in establishing a collaborative course.

Academic modules and quality of the programme conducted at UOWM KDUPG is the same as the programme conducted at the USM main campus.
