Our highly qualified and experienced academic staff, many of whom hold PhDs from world-renowned universities, are at the forefront of research and innovation. With a strong track record in supervising graduate students at both Master and PhD levels, securing national and international competitive research grants, attracting industry grants, publishing in top-tier journals, winning prestigious global awards and fellowships, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of knowledge in computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, internet-of-things and software engineering. We continuously seek research collaborations that address real-world challenges, ensuring that our students and faculty contribute meaningfully to technological advancements that benefit society.
Strong Industry Engagement
We believe that strong industry alignment is key to producing graduates who are highly sought after in the job market. Our programs integrate industry-recognized certifications, allowing students to graduate with professional qualifications in cloud computing (AWS), artificial intelligence (NVIDIA), data science (IBM), networking (CISCO), and IoT & cybersecurity (Keysight), among others. Beyond curriculum integration, our school actively engages with industry through work-integrated learning (WIL), internships, guest lectures, collaborative projects, and competitions, ensuring that our students gain valuable real-world experience. Additionally, our team spearheads impactful community outreach and engagement initiatives, such as our annual flagship Future ICT Coder, which nurtures the next generation of computer scientists and knowledge transfer programs that bridge research with real life applications – fostering a culture of continuous learning and digital empowerment.
Join Us in Building a Better Future
At the School of Information and Communication Technologies, we are driven by a dynamic and motivated team dedicated to excellence in education, research, and industry collaboration. We invite all aspiring students, industry partners, and academic collaborators to join us in achieving our vision: People and technology working together to build a better world.
