The creative and media sector is thus the true heart of the Information Society, as it represents the segment that is the most accessed, and most accessible by the masses. The emerging content provider in the Information Society will be a professional who understands the authoring process, and who is an expert in graphics, sound, video and text content production. This four year programme provides the students with a well-rounded knowledge on the four major components of creative multimedia: Pass SPM / SPMV with 2 principals / Foundation / Matriculation or equivalent qualification recognized by the Malaysian Government.

Bachelor of Science (Architectural Studies)
•
The Bachelor of Science (Architecture Studies) is the first part of the Architect’s training. The three years delivered in this programme precedes the final two years available in the Bachelor of Architecture. Professionally, architectural training requires a minimum of seven years and consists of three parts. The first two parts, comprising of five years of study, is completed in an academic institution. It consists of a three year Bachelor of Science degree (for Part I) followed by a two year study that confers a Bachelor of Architecture degree that is recognised professionally as Part II. Between the two parts, the University requires student to undertake a period of practical training ranging from six months to one year. The two parts, though conferring two different Bachelor’s degrees, at the end of the third and fifth study year, may be one continuous process. The curriculum is designed as one; meaning that many of the things taught in the fourth year through the Bachelor of Architecture are developments of things learnt in the third year. The third part is a two year period of practical training or working experience that enables a candidate to sit for the professional Part III Examination.
