What is Mobile Computing?

The proliferation of portable, sophisticated yet affordable mobile computing devices (such as laptops, smart phones, PDAs, Bluetooth personal devices) and the widespread use of Internet technologies have made possible a mobile computing era in which users, on the move, can seamlessly access network services and resources, from virtually any-where, at any-time.

The goal of the Mobile Computing degree program is to educate people who, equipped with substantial knowledge in the fields of communications technology, informatics and application development, can professionally manage projects in this future technology both technically and organizationally.

Program Structure

Students will study the 3-year (120 credits) program in Perdana College. The course builds on a solid foundation in the main areas of Computer Science: generic software development skills, networking, computing fundamentals and information systems development. It then introduces the specific skills required for designing, developing, and deploying mobile applications and designing suitable network architectures.

A unique feature is that the program incorporates Co-Op Internship, requiring student to do two months of industrial attachment per academic year. This provides students with invaluable working experience even before they graduate. The combination of classroom lectures and real life exposure enhance the employability of the graduates.
