Information science and Engineering is originally a basic study to elucidate the mechanism of information processing in such biotic behavior as thinking, decision making, perception, and learning and a study to develop devices which can simulate those activities. Information science is applied to all fields of study, including the natural sciences, the arts and humanities, technology and social science, and has brought about revolutions in these areas.
The Faculty of information Science and Technology offers engineering and industry oriented subjects where the students can excel in the interested domain. These diversified programmes are application-oriented and are designed to produce competent graduates who can apply theories in practice. Our students are set to participate in industrial and research projects with a strong applied nature for industrial, commercial and community needs. They will be trained to think critically and analytically, thus standing them in good stead in their future professions and making them highly valued by employers.
Our team of professors and lecturers has an unswerving dedication to provide a caring environment and a gateway for aspiring students to pursue lifelong learning. We will always be around to help any and all, even after graduation and beyond.
