Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.) Artificial Intelligence new-icon

Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST)

(R3/481/6/0786) 08/28 (A4187)

As computer systems increase their complexity and sophistication, the demand for intelligent advanced applications also increases in proportion. It is now a common practice and expectation to incorporate intelligent capabilities in the design of any computer application, from web-based intelligent search engines to stand-alone intelligent applications.

The objective of this course is to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills required to be successful in building the much-needed intelligent computer systems. Based on the solid foundations of Computer Science and Information Technology, the three-year degree programme covers the traditional grounds of artificial intelligence, such as fundamental in artificial intelligence, programming language concept, and computational intelligence. It then extends to advanced and deeper understanding of AI techniques in application, such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Data analytics, etc.

          – Additional Mathematics at the SPM level or its equivalent; OR
          – Mathematics and any one of the Science, Technology or Engineering subjects at SPM level or its equivalent. Candidates need to take and pass the reinforcement Mathematics equivalent to Additional Mathematics at the SPM level. The subject must be offered in the first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer;OR
        6. Pass STPM (Science Stream) or its equivalent with a minimum Grade of C (GP 2.00) in Mathematics subject and ONE (1) Science / ICT subject; OR
        7. Pass A-Level with a minimum of Grade D in Mathematics and ONE (1) Science / ICT subject; OR
        8. Pass UEC with a minimum of Grade B in at least FIVE (5) subjects (inclusive of Mathematics, English and one Science / ICT subject); OR
        9. Diploma in Computing (Level 4, MQF) or its equivalent with a minimum CGPA of 2.50. Candidates with a CGPA below 2.50 but more than 2.00 may be admitted subject to a thorough rigorous assessment; OR
        10. Pass DKM /DLKM/DVM in Computing fields with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 subjected to HEP Senate / Academic Board’s approval*; OR
        11. Other relevant & equivalent qualifications recognised by the Malaysian Government. (Candidates can be admitted if their admission qualification contains Mathematics subject(s) equivalent to Additional Mathematics at the SPM level. If it is not equivalent, reinforcement Mathematics subject that equivalent to the SPM level must be offered in first semester or before enrolment with unconditional offer).

    Note:

    *DKM/DLKM/DVM candidates may be required to undergo Bridging Programme as an additional requirement.

    Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics before being allowed to take related core courses. The candidate can sit for any subjects that did not indicate Mathematics as a pre-requisite.

    Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit.

    Students from Matriculation/Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the Mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Additional Mathematics offered at an SPM level.
