Summary

  The program is designed for students interested in learning Information Technology (IT). Our program welcomes students with diverse backgrounds and a strong desire for advanced IT training. Even applicants yet to gain IT experience or knowledge can receive professional IT-related education. The program aims to introduce the field of Information Systems and Applications (ISA), which covers:

• Artificial Intelligence: data mining, data analysis, machine learning, robotics, natural language processing, and cloud computing
• Creative Multimedia: multimedia applications and computer vision
• Learning technology
• Information Security
• Social Networking
• Bioinformatics 

  Our focus is combining information systems with domain knowledge from various fields. Therefore, our curriculum is developed jointly with the Department of Computer Science, Information Security, and Communications Engineering.   In this program, students will learn about the theory and technology of information systems and their applications in various fields of information science through programming assignments and hands-on activities.

    The program covers artificial intelligence (AI), data mining, algorithms, machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics. You will be exposed to different learning approaches:

• Project-based units where you will use your theoretical and technical knowledge to develop applications such as software systems, prototype models, and theoretical frameworks.
• Working on real-world and research-inspired problems to apply advanced analytical and logical thinking skills to solve complex and novel problems.
• Gaining relevant contemporary IT and interpersonal capabilities that will prepare you for senior professional positions in the IT field.

  Upon graduating, you will have the specialist knowledge and skills required for senior IT-related professional positions or to pursue a Ph.D. program. You will also have the chance to gain practical experience in AI by applying the concepts learned during your studies.
