For the first 2 years (60 credit hours) in Perdana College, these three programs share the same common subjects. Students then transfer their credits to our partner universities to complete the degree there.
These programs prepare students to be Computer Science professionals. The core curriculum emphasizes on in depth systems analysis and design, software programming, networking and communication, data structures and algorithms, database management system, computer systems, and their applications, such as web technology. The program is well-balanced, requiring students to take some electives from other fields, hence obtaining training in areas like accounting, economics, management, and psychology.
The choice of electives depend on the intended major and the university which the student plans to transfer his/her credits to.
