Why study computer science in Malaysia?

Malaysia offers a conductive environment for students to obtain a computer science degree. It is an excellent place to study computer science for several reasons, including good quality education, such as UNM's, which is globally recognised. It is cost-effective compared to many other countries, and Malaysia is a multicultural country with a diverse student population. English is spoken widely in Malaysia, making it easy for local and international students to communicate. Additionally, Malaysia has a growing tech industry, so there will be ample job opportunities.

Does computer science pay well in Malaysia?

Yes, computer science jobs are generally well-paid in Malaysia. However, the salary depends on experience, skill, industry, and role. Nonetheless, graduates can expect good job prospects and competitive salaries.

How difficult is computer science?

The programme's difficulty varies for each student. Some struggle with abstract concepts and the requirement for attention to detail, while others with a strong foundation in mathematics, logic, critical thinking and problem-solving may find the course less challenging. However, by maintaining consistent study habits and being open to learning, students can master computer science.

Are computer science graduates in demand in Malaysia?

The demand for computer science graduates in Malaysia is expected to increase in the coming years due to the nation's growing digital economy and technology industry. The Malaysian government has also implemented various initiatives, such as the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint, to develop the industry. Thus, skilled computer science professionals are very much needed.

Mathematical Science

What is a BSc in Mathematics and Data Science degree?

A BSc in Mathematics and Data Science is an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree that combines mathematical foundations with the practical skills of data science. You will gain a solid foundation in mathematics and computing skills to work in careers such as data scientists, machine learning engineers, and quantitative analysts across industries.

Do I need to have any prior knowledge or skills before enrolling in the mathematics programme?

While proficiency in programming languages can be a leverage if you are undertaking a degree in Mathematics and Data Science, it is not a pre-requisite. You do not need any prior knowledge or skills before enrolling in this course.

For the mathematics degree, can I choose the subjects or modules based on my interests and career goals?

Yes, one of the advantages of our programme is the flexibility of personalising your education journey. You can select from a list of optional modules that match your interests and career goals while the equivalent core modules offered in the programme can provide you with foundational knowledge and abilities.
