Industry exposure
Real industrial, professional and business
experience is part of the curriculum. The
Industry Based Learning (IBL) program gives
you the exposure and opportunity to apply
the skills you have learned in the classroom in
the corporate world.
You will be placed in leading global and
Malaysian organisations for a 22-week
industrial placement which will help you to
develop your career objectives, knowledge
and skills required in a working environment
such as teamwork dynamics, professional
growth and overall skills required to be
a competitive graduate in the employment
market.
Your industry work is assessed and credited
towards your degree while the organisations
will award you a scholarship for the
placement duration.
Industrial Experience project
If you don’t qualify for the IBL project, you will
undertake an industrial project for two
semesters in your final year of study. In
teams, you will design, develop and deliver
a solution for a client company, manage the
project through all its development stages,
communicate effectively with all project
stakeholders and develop project
documentation in a professional manner.
