Computer & Technology

 

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Computing and Information Technology (IT) are reshaping various aspects of the world and the societies we live in. It has become integral to our daily lives - from the medium we use to communicate with others, to the automotive we use to commute in, and to the way organisations go about doing business. Given the prevalence of IT in our lives, it is easy to appreciate the positive aspects and importance of technology. Essentially, from pop-up stores, to multinational corporations, businesses need IT to provide more efficient services and to grow rapidly. As technology continues to progress and evolve, there is continuously high demand for IT professionals. 

 

A HIGH QUALITY AND RELEVANT SYLLABUS

SENTRAL College Penang started their IT programmes in partnership with one of the top leading IT education and solutions provider institution in India, the National Institute of Information Technology (NIIT). It eventually adopted its own internal programmes, which follows a similar syllabus of that of NIIT’s. In addition, SENTRAL College Penang’s Business Information Technology programme is offered in collaboration with one of the top 100 universities in the UK, the University of Salford, Manchester.

In addition, to ensure that students are kept abreast with industry related needs, the School of Computing and Information Technology organises a series of extracurricular activities such as industrial visits and talks by industrial experts. For instance, students were brought to Malaysia Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) to learn about internal operations. They were also educated about the latest progress of the technological industry in Malaysia. Besides, the Exabytes Field Trip in 2017 allowed students to be exposed to technological and business setting in a web hosting company. In the most recent event - Seminar Digital Kerajaan 2017, SENTRAL'S IT students had the opportunity to pitch their project ideas to the public, with the prospect of implementation by the state government. The event serves as a great platform for them to consolidate and showcase what they have learnt in their IT courses. Students get to challenge themselves, enhance their creativity and nurture their mind to be a skilled IT professional.

Furthermore, IT students are required to undertake industrial trainings and a final year project during their course of study. To date, the School of Computing and Information Technology works closely with the manufacturing and software industry. 100% of our graduates are observed by the respective industries within 3 months either before or after the completion of studies with SENTRAL College Penang. Past SENTRAL students have interned at organisations such as G hotel, Inari Technologies, Thomson Reuters, Intel and Jabil.
