UNIRAZAK IT in Malaysia: one computing core, three different directions
A three-year, 123-credit Information Technology degree with published Computer Forensics, Software Engineering and Data Science options. Choose for the work you want to learn, then confirm the available major, full-time on-campus offer and practical calendar. This guide does not cover the ODL route.
One award, not three separate accreditation records
Malaysia UNIRAZAK IT is A10597, not a standalone engineering degree.
The exact qualification is Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours). MQR records A10597, MQF Level 6, NEC 0611 Information technology and information system, 123 credits and accreditation from 27 November 2011 with no end date displayed. The current Honours title took effect on 12 February 2019.
The university explicitly lists Conventional On Campus OR Open Distance Learning. This guide selects full-time on-campus study. MQR lists full-time three years and part-time five years but does not display a Mode of Delivery field in the checked record. Do not pretend that missing field says conventional. Confirm the actual international on-campus offer and teaching site.
MQR lists 195A, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur. Its history notes a move from PINTAR Campus effective 28 October 2013 and a graduating-credit amendment from 124 to 123. Ask for the current approved 123-credit plan, not an old campus or 124-credit outline.
The current main IT page prints a March 2029 advertisement code for both modes. A separate Software Engineering-major page still prints a March 2024 code and older admission details. It corroborates the subject focus, not the current intake's entry rules. Use the current main page and obtain a written major/offer decision.
Software Engineering is a major within this IT award. A university career title such as Software Engineer or IT Engineer does not establish an accredited professional-engineering pathway, BEM registration, a forensic licence, court appointment, security clearance or guaranteed employment.
A subject-based decision graphic
Malaysia IT branches from a shared core into investigation, software or data.
The university says choose one specialization. These are published directions, not a promise that every route runs for every intake. Do not combine the three into one compulsory curriculum or assume a major appears on the award certificate without checking.
SHARED IT CORE IN MALAYSIA
Programming + databases + networks + systems + people and security
Computer Forensics, Crime & Justice; Principles of Computer Forensics; Ethical Hacking; Computer Forensics Implementation; Advanced Issues; Legal Aspects; Cyber Attacks; Digital Forensics; Digital Investigation.
Ask to see: an authorised investigation exercise, evidence-handling rubric and legal/ethical scope. Course access does not permit investigating another person's device or attacking a live system.
Algorithm and Data Structures; Software Project Management; Software Quality and Metrics; Software Architecture and Design; Requirements Engineering; Object Oriented Software Engineering; Software Testing and Maintenance; Mobile Application Development.
Ask to see: the path from requirements to design, implementation, testing and maintenance, and what work is individual versus team-based. No particular language, cloud stack or vendor certification is verified.
Introduction to Information Science; Information Retrieval; Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent System; Data Warehousing and Data Mining; Database Administration and Management; Big Data Analytics; Data Visualization; Data Science.
Ask to see: an assessed dataset, evaluation method and privacy rules. Named AI and data subjects do not establish a separate AI degree, production research lab or guaranteed data-scientist job.
Several subjects such as Web Segmentation and Analytics and Software Project Management recur across published routes. Repetition is not counted as extra credits. The source also has unlabelled bullets before the named majors; no fourth specialisation is invented from that layout.
Core first, options second
Malaysia IT links programming to operating systems and real users.
The course page groups subjects rather than assigning them to years. This is a learning map, not an official semester schedule. Ask for prerequisites and the current major-specific 123-credit distribution before choosing electives or claiming transfer credit.
Fundamentals of Programming, Programming Principles and Techniques, Object-Oriented Programming, Databases, Web Systems and Technologies, Mathematics for Information Technology and Statistics for Information Technology form a base for building and reasoning about digital systems.
Computer Organization and Architecture, Networking Fundamentals, Platform Technologies, Operating System, Information Security and System Administration and Maintenance connect applications with the environment that runs them. The page does not confirm specific commercial platforms, lab equipment or external certificates.
Information Technology Fundamentals, Human Computer Interaction, Systems Analysis & Design and Social and Professional Issues connect technical decisions with users, requirements and responsibility. Ask how accessibility, usability, privacy and documentation are assessed, rather than assuming a particular project brief.
The source says choose any four from a business/communication pool including Public Speaking 1-2, Production and Operations Management, Cost and Management Accounting, Problem Solving & Decision Making, Service Operations Management, leadership/change, organisational subjects, quality, negotiation and Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Not all are compulsory or guaranteed to run.
Malaysia a concrete systems task: UNIRAZAK's separate three-credit bachelor-level System Administration and Maintenance subject page describes building a miniature corporate network, installing backend servers, updating applications on Unix and documenting system changes and customer requests. That older subject description adds practical context, but is not proof of this intake's exact equipment, assessment or cloud subscription.
Current general studies include local/international MPU alternatives and community/integrity options. Confirm the actual international allocation. Do not add every alternative as a compulsory subject.
Projects are named; training counts still need reconciliation
Malaysia Minor Project, Major Project and internship have different purposes.
The current list explicitly names Minor Project, Major Project, Internship I for Information Technology and Internship II for Information Technology. It does not specify a dissertation, exact project credits, host, pay or employment conversion.
Ask for project prerequisites, credits, expected artefacts, supervision, individual contribution and marking. A forensics case, software system or data investigation is a question to ask about the selected major, not a guaranteed published project title. Check who owns the work and whether a redacted portfolio may be shared.
MQR's main full-time table prints five 14-week and three 15-week long semesters, plus one 12-week Industrial Training semester. Its 6 June 2024 history instead prints five plus two starred long semesters and two training entries, with a footnote specifying two 15-week semesters. These counts do not reconcile on their face.
Do not infer two separate employers, 24 weeks of placement, or a new total study length from Internship I-II or the inconsistent history row. Obtain the approved full-time cohort calendar and exact training credits, blocks and dates before relying on one.
Confirm host approval, whether the university assigns a host or students source one, supervision and fallback arrangements. No cybersecurity company, software firm, bank or paid placement is established. Check international-student eligibility, insurance, travel and any access restrictions.
Forensics and Ethical Hacking subjects are not authority to access live systems or personal devices. Ask about sandboxed exercises, consent, confidentiality, evidence handling and client-data controls. Student placement does not automatically permit unrestricted work or regulated duties.
Current main-page conditions, not an older major-page rule
Malaysia IT entry has route-specific grades and Mathematics reinforcement.
Indian qualifications need an individual equivalence decision. No Indian Class 12 percentage, automatic transfer credit or English-medium waiver is inferred. Ask UNIRAZAK to confirm how the listed Mathematics condition attaches to the applicant's route.
STPM: C (GP 2.00) in two subjects. The current page also lists STAM Jayyid in two subjects, and Matriculation/Foundation CGPA 2.00. Its STAM phrasing should be confirmed rather than rewritten as a guaranteed equivalence. Relevant recognised qualifications and APEL A are listed, subject to their own checks.
Non-computing Level 4 diploma: CGPA 2.75; below 2.75 but above 2.50 requires rigorous assessment. Computing diploma: CGPA 2.50; below 2.50 but above 2.00 may require rigorous assessment. DKM/DVM and DLKM in computing: CGPA 2.50 subject to Senate. The strict lower bounds are not rounded down or made inclusive.
The page states Mathematics credit at SPM/equivalent, or a pass with reinforcement Mathematics equivalent to SPM. Reinforcement must be offered in the first semester or before unconditional enrolment and passed before related core courses; unrelated subjects without Mathematics prerequisites may be taken. It can contribute to graduating credit. Foundation/Matriculation Mathematics may exempt reinforcement only when equivalent to or above SPM Mathematics.
IELTS 5.0; TOEFL internet-based total 40; TOEFL Essentials online 7.5; PTE 47; Cambridge High B1 (154); MUET 3.5; or the stated CCE Cambridge CEFR-aligned High B1 (154) route. The university says a conditional offer is issued when English is not yet met. Confirm accepted test/version, timing and conditions: this is not a blanket waiver, immediate unconditional admission or visa approval.
Put the selected major and physical mode in writing
Malaysia UNIRAZAK IT needs an exact intake and full-duration quote.
March, July and November are advertised intake windows, not confirmed seats or application deadlines. No current full-duration international fee total, individual scholarship or guaranteed major availability was established.

Malaysia UNIRAZAK Information Technology questions.
Is Malaysia A10597 available on campus?
The current university main page explicitly lists Conventional On Campus OR ODL. This guide covers only the full-time on-campus route; confirm that mode in the actual offer.
Does Malaysia IT require all three major routes?
No. The page says choose one specialisation. Computer Forensics, Software Engineering and Data Science are published directions; confirm intake availability and the selected major's approved plan.
Are Malaysia Internship I and II two guaranteed placements?
No. They are named academic components. The MQR table/history counts differ, so obtain the approved cohort calendar rather than assuming two employers or 24 weeks.
Is Malaysia Software Engineering a separate engineering award here?
No. It is a major within Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours), A10597. No professional-engineering recognition or registration route is established by the checked sources.
Does Malaysia accreditation end in March 2029?
The university's advertisement code prints March 2029. Exact MQR accreditation starts 27 November 2011 with no end date displayed. They are different source fields, not interchangeable dates.
