School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham Malaysia
The School of Computer Science undertakes world-class research which feeds directly into undergraduate teaching with an exciting range of optional modules and research-related project work. Teaching staff at the Malaysia Campus consists of both local and international academics. Their interests cover all aspects of computer science, and they are all actively engaged with undergraduate teaching. Our degrees in computer science and software engineering produce highly employable graduates and provide the basis for rewarding and lucrative careers.
What is computer science?
It is hard to think of an area of human endeavour in which computers don’t now play an integral role. They are in our phones, our cars, our televisions. They help doctors to monitor our health, artists to create visual images and special effects in movies, and are a standard tool for musicians. Computing professionals are the architects of this new information age. They look at engineering issues to build tools that help us create large-scale software systems. Computer scientists also consider philosophical issues about what can or can’t be computed, and ask profound questions about the fundamental nature of the ‘computation’ process.
At the University of Nottingham Malaysia we offer the following undergraduate degree programmes within computer science.
- BSc (Hons) Computer Science
- BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence
- BSc (Hons) Software Engineering

How you are taught
Each year of your degree will be divided into two semesters, with exams at the end of each semester. For each module you will typically have two or three lectures per week. On many modules you will also have associated lab sessions and tutorials to offer support and give you the chance to practice what is taught in the lectures. The courses make use of modern approaches to teaching, including e-learning and social media.
A computer science degree from the University of Nottingham will leave you well placed to understand how to program today’s computers and also how to design and implement the systems of the future – whether they are a traditional computer system, a smart-phone, a tablet device or something completely new.
Course structure
University of Nottingham Malaysia single honours degrees have a common first year, allowing you to easily move between our degrees at the end of Year 1. The first year of the computer science and software engineering degree consists of modules that develop your understanding of six major themes: operating systems and architecture, programming, mathematical foundations, software engineering, net-centric computing, intelligent systems and human-computer interaction.
On the first year of our joint honours course in computer science and management you will study a subset of the computer science modules as well as key modules provided by the Nottingham University Business School.
The second year of your degree revolves around a year-long software engineering group project. You will cover a relevant area designed to simulate what it is like to work on a real software project. You will also undertake more advanced study of core computer science (including programming, networks, data structures, logic and concurrency) and further specialist modules, as well as topics from a selection of optional module.
Your third year will be centred around an individual project. You will have an assigned supervisor and are able to propose your own project, allowing you to specialise in an area of particular interest to you. Your third-year studies are also composed of high-level optional modules available within the School of Computer Science, and one or two modules from other schools.
