5. Rationale of the Programme B.Sc.(Hons) Internet and Multimedia Computing This innovative course merges the two very demanding and closely related technologies; Internet and Multimedia into one comprehensive course. The major aim is at producing multimedia developers with Internet programming experience. With the current phenomenal growth of the Internet and the usage of multimedia elements in our current daily life, it will be a plus for students to master these two very demanding and challenging fields. This course will not only enhance the students underlying theory of existing Internet and Multimedia technologies but also emphasizes on the development of practical applications. This programme is highly practical in nature with lots of hands-on session in the Multimedia Laboratory. Students are exposed to specific areas which include Multimedia Technology, Computer Graphics and Animations, Digital Video and Sound Technology, Internet Programming, Web Design and Applications, and object-oriented programming (JAVA). To ensure a well-rounded and holistic education, the programme also incorporates soft skills courses like employability skills, critical thinking skills, technical writing and etc. Compulsory internship has been incorporated into the programme, ensuring that students gain relevant and real-world work experience before graduating. Upon completing the degree the graduates can embark on careers such as multimedia application developer, web developer, animator, multimedia consultant, multimedia production specialist, visualization specialist and multimedia designer.

Requirements for Graduation As per Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) guidelines, in order to receive a degree, a student must take those courses required by the university or college, and have accumulated 109 credit hours. MPW subjects are compulsory for ALL Malaysian students. Students need to do 2 or 3 MPW subject (1 subject will be exempted if a credit in B.M. has been obtained at the SPM level). International students do not need to take MPW subjects. The breakdown of credits are as follows: BSc (Hons) in Internet and Multimedia Computing (BIMCI) Academic subjects : 82 credits Compulsory internship : 6 credits 3 Soft Skills Subjects (SSC) : 6 credits 1 Communicative Foreign Language : 2 credits 1 University College Course : 3 credits 3 MPW subjects : 9 credits 108 credits 8. Modes of Study In general, institutions of higher education in Malaysia operate on two long and one short semester. In long semester, the academic calendar is usually divided into 14 weeks term. A student will normally enroll for 5-6 long semester, 4 to 5 courses per semester. January and August semesters are the long semesters for the degree programmes. In the short semester, the academic calendar is divided into 8 weeks term with a week of mid-semester break. A student will normally enroll for 2-3 short semester, 2 to 3 courses per semester.May semester is the short semester for the degree programmes. A minimum course load per a long semester for a full time student in good academic standing is 12 credit hours. The maximum credit hour per a long semester as stipulated by MQA guidelines are 18 credit hours. As for short semester, the minimum credit hour would be 3 credit hours, where as the maximum as per MQA guidelines would be 9 credit hours.
