(Source: ge.mohe.gov.my/) In the area of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Applied Sciences is considered one of the key economic engines in the world in the fields of health sciences, food and fuel production. The government of Malaysia has launched the National Biotech Policy on April 28, 2005 and Biotechnology has been acknowledged as one of the focus areas for Malaysia’s growth. Much effort has been taken to promote Malaysia as the main ‘Halal Hub’ for ‘Halal’ food processing and production. As a result of this, new and existing companies have invested in these areas, thus creating an ever-increasing job market for trained professionals in the field. M.Sc. (Applied Sciences) by Research aims to provide postgraduate learners with enhanced knowledge of Applied Sciences (e.g. in the areas of Biotechnology, Food Science and Nutrition) and the ability to adopt and apply this knowledge within their career. Learners will apply these principles and methods of scientific inquiries and research designs to plan and explore research questions; to operate key instruments in this specialised area; and to critically analyse and interpret information related to current issues and controversies in the sciences from a variety of sources. With such skills, they will be able to conduct independent research and will be equipped with valuable transferable skills such as presentation techniques, communication skills (both written and oral), information and data handling, problemsolving abilities, teamwork and information technology knowledge. Furthermore, learners will also recognise the importance of life-long learning and will be well-prepared to meet any challenge that arises.

Master Of Architecture Sarjana Senibina Architecture 18 months On-campus English
UCSI University’s Master of Architecture is a project-based programme that puts Design as its core emphasis. Other focus areas in the two-year programme include Technology and Environment, Architectural Management, Cultural Context and Communication. Notably, this programme will see graduate students working hand in hand with developers, local agencies and other relevant bodies on industrial projects – from public-social housing to commercial development – under the tutelage of experienced academics. Exposure to such pragmatic projects will ensure they are well-equipped to work independently – with minimal supervision – on their design thesis.At UCSI, we are strongly committed to address issues pertaining to sustainable architecture. We also devise architectural solutions to improve the quality of life. We engage local and international universities and partner with leading architectural firms to open doors for graduate students in the areas of research collaboration and industry networking. In today’s ever-changing architectural landscape, relevance is key and this is the reason we want to equip our students with an education geared to the realities of the professional market. Take for example the course on Building Information Modelling (BIM) – the process of designing a building collaboratively using an integrated system of computer models. Through this course, students can tackle – and simplify – complex design issues using modern technology while strengthening their career prospects in the field.As a postgraduate student at the School, your learning experiences will be varied and engaging. Projects will be commonplace but more than that, you will also refine your technical know-how independently in a dedicated studio environment. Collectively, you and your peers will have the opportunity to explore architectural design concerns through lectures, seminars, scholarly research and writing. You will be expected to appraise case studies and surveys related to national and global concerns in the architectural sphere. And you will meet – and brainstorm with – other practising architects who are experts in their fields.These vital points set the Master of Architecture apart as more than a postgraduate qualification; it connects you to an exceptional range of individuals, experiences and opportunities. * This programme received a 100% graduate employability score in the Ministry of Higher Education’s Graduate Employability 2020. (Source: ge.mohe.gov.my/) The Master of Architecture programme is a 2-year full-time professional degree. It is designed for individuals who have already successfully completed a 3-year undergraduate professional architectural programme. This Master of Architecture will enable students to engage with current public expectations of architectural practice and trends, particularly towards sustainable designs. With this programme, UCSI University’s School of Architecture and Built Environment is doing its part to boost the number of professional architects in Malaysia, which is in line with the country’s aim to achieve developed nation status by 2020.
