ADDING VALUE THROUGH DEVELOPING MOBILE MINDSAt the School of Information and Communication Technology, we position our graduates to drive the information technology (IT) industry to higher levels of innovation and success. Our robust links with the IT industry have enabled us to introduce an innovative series of final year projects and internship programmes which not only offer students valuable work experience, but also provide specific knowledge and specialised skills. Our mission is to produce self-directing graduates who master new skills efficiently, whilst our primary aim is to produce graduates who are able to embrace rapid technological change and economic evolution. We endeavour to instil in our students attitudes and values that will prepare them for a lifetime of continuous learning and leadership. As advocates of a well-rounded education, we not only provide our students with instructions in all core IT academic subjects; we also provide credible and comprehensive instructions in soft skills, eg work ethics, communication skills, self confidence, presentation skills, teamwork, etc. Today's service economy and the ascendance of work teams in large organisations place an added emphasis on soft skills. It is no longer sufficient to be a functional expert. To complement these unique core competencies, there are certain ‘soft skills’ every company looks for in a potential employee. Companies value soft skills because research suggests and experience shows that they can be just as important an indicator of job performance as hard skills. We therefore prepare our students to succeed in the increasingly global marketplace and in our own complex and ever-changing society.

OVERVIEW

WHAT IS INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY?Information & Communications Technology (ICT) is the convergence of Information Technology, Telecommunications and Data Networking Technologies into a single technology. It is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information. IT covers a multitude of different jobs in processing, analysing, storing and conveying information,

whether that means working on the internet or on systems for guiding rockets. Graduates with work experience and strong technical skills will be snapped up first. Jobs in these areas remain a significant feature of graduate recruitment, and the long-term outlook is positive in global terms. There is growth in e-commerce, mobile telecommunications, networking and digital media, and the use of databases.

WHY STUDY ICT AT HELP?➊ Industry endorsed programmes a. The Industry Advisory Board (IAB)

provides advice to align the curriculum with the industry’s needs to ensure graduates’ employability.

b. Robust linkages with the industry to provide internships for undergraduates and graduates.

c. Expert guest lecturers from the industry.

➋ Great career prospects More than 90% employability for our graduates. Our graduates have been employed by Accenture, Shell, Astro, Star, Maxis, HP, Intel, Citibank, IBM, etc.

➌ Low lecturer-student ratio ➍ Excellent teaching faculty a. 80% of the lecturers have over

10 years of teaching and industry experience.

b. All lecturers have Masters qualifications.

➎ Industry strength final year projects Students are provided with opportunities to work on industry strength projects with industry partners.

IT is no longer a secondary or support industry; it is the industry of the future, and some of the

biggest companies worldwide are IT companies. Our aim in the Advisory Board is to encourage students of HELP to look at the opportunities and inspire them to build the Apples, Googles and Facebooks of the future in Malaysia."Mr Ghanesh Kumar Bangah Co-Founder of MOL Global;Co-Founder of MOL Access Portal Bhd.;Group CEO & President of MOL Ventures Pte.Ltd;CEO of Friendster; Chairman of PIKOM.Member, HELP University IT Industry Advisory Board.

In today's world, it's all about collaboration and connecting. It is critical to create

an eco-system where university students can connect to current technology so that they can learn the latest, as well as interact with the private companies that need the solution. We had successfully piloted a project of this nature with the HELP IT students, and intend to continue more programmes of this nature."Mr Chris ChanCEO, The Media Shoppe BerhadPikom CouncillorChair, HELP University IT Industry Advisory Board

Today, using analytics to understand customers, improve product quality or detect fraud is a vital part of how an organisation uses

data. However, as more and more devices connect to the Internet of Things, data from computer networks, factory sensors, personal wearables, smart meters and even pets come flooding in. Without a way to handle and make sense of it, all that data is useless. HELP University in partnership with SAS empowers students with the foundations of data science. This enables students to navigate this data minefield and monetise an organisation’s data."Dr Mark ChiaHead of Analytics within SAS’s Technology Centre of Excellence in Malaysia.Co-Chair, HELP University IT Industry Advisory Board

Industry Endorsement & SupportAn Industry Advisory Board (IAB) was established by the School of Information Technology and Communication to ensure that the IT programmes offered are relevant and effective for its undergraduates; and to strengthen the department’s ties with the computing industry. The IAB consists of senior industrialists and professionals with local and global representation, eg HT Consulting, IBM, Microsoft, Ernst & Young, Cradle Fund, PIKOM and SAS. The IAB advises on course content in the context of industrial trends and employment prospects, and supports ITD’s activities in placing undergraduates in internship programmes and graduates in employment upon graduation. The IAB also provides advice on research activities and opportunities.

Job PlacementsJob assistance and internships are available for our graduates via industry linkages and career exposure. Our students are highly sought after by leading companies. Some of our students have been employed by Accenture, IBM, Citibank, Maxis Communications, IBM, Motorola Malaysia, HSBC (China), MIMOS, Sapura Holdings, Broadcast Network Systems (ASTRO), Shell, HP and many others.

OUR ACHIEVERS / ALUMNI

The Bachelor of Information Technology credit transfer programme between HELP and The University of Queensland (UQ) is an excellent programme that encompasses a good mix of theory and practical learning experiences. Having dedicated staff that consistently win teaching awards and with links to industry partners, this programme is recognised globally and prepares you well for the work force."

Twins John Ngui Kin Choong and Arthur Ngui Kin Seng Both graduated with a HELP Bachelor of Information Technology (First Class Honours) in 2006; they are currently working in Queensland.

HELP University has made me strive for knowledge and taught me many different programming paradigms which can be used to explore many different programming languages. Subjects such as modelling using UML, all game development subjects and the final year project has prepared me to organise and plan new projects. It has been a great experience studying at HELP University. The lecturers teach from experience and demonstrate each theory with examples."

Khalid Mohammad SaleemBachelor of Computer Science (First Class Honours) Games and Interactive MediaSoftware Engineer, MIMOS

I have found IT to be incredibly fast-paced and there is always room

for innovation and creativity. The subjects that I studied in my BIT (Hons) degree and the interactions that I had with my lecturers have most certainly equipped me with the necessary skills for my current employment at Ernst & Young (Singapore)."

Studying in HELP has not only given me the tertiary knowledge, but also critical skills

like project management, discipline and focus to achieve a desired goal. It has given me an experience of internationalisation and globalisation, through my interactions with foreign students and lecturers, as well as opened up a world view for me. This is critical for my entrepreneurship ventures.”Vincent Cheng Kim LoongBachelor of Information TechnologyCEO of Jevine SolutionsFounder of Malaysian Business Network

I know I made the right decision to study this course because I am always enthusiastic about learning and applying IT knowledge and skills to create something great and beneficial for people. HELP has provided me with a good and conducive learning

environment. The course is well-structured and I have gained a lot of useful and important knowledge from the subjects taught at HELP. Moreover, the lecturers here are very professional and approachable."
