a warm welcome to prospective students, parents, friends, alumni
and industry partners who are looking to gain insight into our
unique postgraduate education and research services. The
faculty has entered a new, exciting, and challenging era. We
are creating a preeminent world-class computer science and informatics
institute known for its pursuit of excellence in academic programs,
leading-edge research, and impact on local and global economic
development and quality of life.
Our
programs provide students with a firm technical foundation;
also knowledge of the organizational and industrial context
of computer science and information systems and a vision of
the possibilities of emerging fields. We are committed to the
delivery of excellent post graduate programs as well as the
pursuit of first class research in all major computer science
and informatics disciplines and a growing number of interdisciplinary
fields such as Bioinformatics.

Many of our alumni have impressive records of employment and
research achievements, and some are currently enrolled in the
most prestigious graduate schools. Our graduates are in demand
by science-based industries and universities throughout the
country.
In addition to
our educational programs, research is a most important aspect
of the faculty. As such, the faculty is in a position to generate
new knowledge by the pursuit of high quality research and to
foster economic development through cooperative research and
technology transfer with the private sector. Within the faculty,
there are several outstanding research facilities including
the Artificial Intelligent and Bioinformatics Lab, the Computer
Graphics and Multimedia Lab, the Information Systems and Database
lab, the Industrial Computing Lab, and the Computer and Network
Security Lab. The faculty is proud to have members who direct
active research programs and who have received national and
international recognition and awards. During the 8th Malaysian
Plan (2001-2005), the faculty manage to secure over RM8 million
in terms of research grants. Many of our postgraduates have
the opportunity to work in research laboratories, under the
guidance and supervision of renowned professors. I look forward
to welcoming you as a post graduate student at the faculty and
your collaboration with our faculty and hope that you will continue
further interactions with my office.
