5. Rationale of the Programme
B.Sc.(Hons) Internet and Multimedia Computing
This innovative course merges the two very demanding and closely related
technologies; Internet and Multimedia into one comprehensive course. The major
aim is at producing multimedia developers with Internet programming experience.
With the current phenomenal growth of the Internet and the usage of multimedia
elements in our current daily life, it will be a plus for students to master these two
very demanding and challenging fields. This course will not only enhance the
students’ underlying theory of existing Internet and Multimedia technologies but also
emphasizes on the development of practical applications.
This programme is highly practical in nature with lots of hands-on session in the
Multimedia Laboratory. Students are exposed to specific areas which include
Multimedia Technology, Computer Graphics and Animations, Digital Video and
Sound Technology, Internet Programming, Web Design and Applications, and
object-oriented programming (JAVA).
To ensure a well-rounded and holistic education, the programme also incorporates
soft skills courses like employability skills, critical thinking skills, technical writing and
etc. Compulsory internship has been incorporated into the programme, ensuring that
students gain relevant and real-world work experience before graduating.
Upon completing the degree the graduates can embark on careers such as
multimedia application developer, web developer, animator, multimedia consultant,
multimedia production specialist, visualization specialist and multimedia designer.

8. Modes of Study
In general, institutions of higher education in Malaysia operate on two long and one
short semester.
In long semester, the academic calendar is usually divided into 14 weeks term. A
student will normally enroll for 5-6 long semester, 4 to 5 courses per semester.
January and August semesters are the long semesters for the degree programmes.
In the short semester, the academic calendar is divided into 8 weeks term with a
week of mid-semester break. A student will normally enroll for 2-3 short semester, 2
to 3 courses per semester.May semester is the short semester for the degree
programmes.
A minimum course load per a long semester for a full time student in good academic
standing is 12 credit hours. The maximum credit hour per a long semester as
stipulated by MQA guidelines are 18 credit hours. As for short semester, the
minimum credit hour would be 3 credit hours, where as the maximum as per MQA

9. INTI-UC Academic Policies and Regulations
All students are encouraged to read and understand INTI-UC academic policies and
regulations as contained in this section.
Class Attendance
An academic semester consists of 14 weeks of classes. Students are expected to
attend all classes and laboratory sessions they have registered for. Absence from a
class is acceptable if the student is medically unfit, in which case, a “Medical
Certificate” has to be produced. For humanitarian and other reasons, supporting
documents (e.g. letter from parent / guardian) must be submitted to the head of
programme at the earliest possible moment. Students are accountable for any work
missed during the period of absence.
The disciplinary consequence for unexcused class absenteeism from a given course
is stated below:
Malaysian Student
After the 3rd absence
After the 6th absence
After the 9th absence
International Students
After the 2nd absence
After the 4th absence
After the 6th absence
First warning letter is issued
Second warning letter is issued
Barring letter is issued. Student will be barred from
final examination
First warning letter is issued
Second warning letter is issued
Barring letter is issued. Student will be barred from
final examination
When a student stops attending classes or fail to attend the Final Examination
without officially withdrawn from the class, the student is awarded a failed grade for
the course involved.
Leave Absence
A student who intends to apply for leave must obtain approval from the relevant
lecturers by completing the “Leave of Absence from Class” form, TD/2/Form/1
(available at the faculty office).Supporting document or parent’s/ guardian’s letter is
needed from applicant .The form is then submitted to the Head of Programme who
may not approve the application.
Add/Drop Courses
Any student who wishes to Add or Drop a course must complete an ADD/DROP
form, AR11 (available at the faculty office).
