Course Information

Course Overview

The Diploma in Information System at Kings University College is an innovative programme that uniquely combines essential business competencies with the IT-specific skills demanded by today’s digital-first organisations. Delivered over 2 years full-time across 6 semesters — culminating in a Final Year Project and industrial training — this MQA-accredited diploma equips students with practical proficiency in programming, database management, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, e-commerce, operating systems, and object-oriented programming.

What distinguishes this programme from a purely technical IT diploma is its integration of business and systems thinking — equipping graduates to not only build and manage information systems, but to understand the commercial and organisational contexts in which those systems function. Students develop competencies across ICT theory, data structure and algorithms, system analysis and design, management information systems, e-commerce, and Python programming — alongside mathematics, business statistics, and data communication.

For international students who want to study information systems in Malaysia, Kings University College offers a curriculum spanning both the technical and business dimensions of IT. Upon completion, graduates can progress directly into Year 2 of the Bachelor (Hons) in Information Technology at Kings — continuing toward a full IT honours degree with their diploma credits recognised.
