Sunway University B.Sc (Hons) Information Systems students off to Korea and an exceptional learning experience.

The Sunway University School of Computer Technology (SCT) is second to none in offering unique specialisations in Information Systems, Information Technology and Computer Science that have kept its students in high demand as quality graduates who are industry-ready specialists.

Recognising that ICT – Information and Communication Technology – is directly relevant to virtually all areas of commerce and industry all over the world, especially with the boom in social media, mobile applications and online businesses, exposure to global experience is seen as a critical part of Sunway students’ academic development.

Thus its Overseas Study Tours are a key element in SCT programmes.

‘A breathtaking experience’ 
The recent Study Tour by 10 SCT students to South Korea’s renowned Daelim University College once again proved how valuable the programme is, and Yap Mun Keong, one of the SCT group, summed it up like this:

“There were talks by famous professors about changes in the IT field for the future and their impact on society. This study tour enabled us to understand Korean culture better… and it was a breathtaking experience to see the advanced technologies in Korea.”

And in addition to invaluable learning paths, the tours also reflect a further Sunway University philosophy: that of developing the individual student’s personal side, instilling self-belief and social confidence.

Industry relevance 
SCT programmes introduce students to a world of opportunities provided by a progressive curriculum and wide network of connections to the vibrant ICT industry.

Great emphasis is placed on ensuring student exposure to real-world working environments through an internship component. They spend a significant amount of time in globally recognised companies, not only putting into practice their classroom knowledge, but also to get exposure to the working world, experience organisational culture and develop their own network for future opportunities.
