Courses
At the Asia Pacific University College of Technology & Innovation (UCTI), formally known as the Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT), the School of Computing & Technology, its oldest establishment, offers a wide variety of specialised programmes in this field. It’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are offered at the foundation, diploma, degree and master’s levels. All these programmes are also approved by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia and the qualifications are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
 
Computing & Technology
Due to the vastness and the interdisciplinary nature of the field of computing and technology field, different institutions of higher learning categorise their courses differently and have different requirements. For example, some may call their degree Bachelor of Information Technology while others may refer to it as Bachelor of Computing Technology or even a Bachelor in Computer Engineering. The subjects taught in these degrees may be the same or may differ slightly. Some institutions may teach networking modules under Computing Technology while others may teach it as a separate degree altogether. Thus there are no cut and dry rules when it comes to the computing world. In general, the principles of computer science and information technology are merged in attempts to offer more encompassing course modules and degrees.
Intelligent Systems
Intelligent systems is a specialisation in Computer Science that involves the study and development of computer systems or machines that have the capabilities of human intelligence. Generally referred to as Artificial Intelligence (AI) it encompasses areas such as neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, visual pattern recognition, model-based prediction and control, case-based diagnostic systems, conventional control theory, and symbolic AI. Typical applications created through intelligent systems include computer games, language translation systems, expert systems, and robotics. UCTI offers the BSc (Hons) in Information Technology (Intelligent Systems) degree which teaches general knowledge and skills in relation to Information Technology with a specialised and focused emphasis on Intelligent Systems.
