The Institute of Informatics and Communication (IIC) was established in 1997 to achieve the holistic goal of integrating a wide spectrum of knowledge and skills, including the design of computer hardware, software systems and telecommunication, in its curriculum. The learning approach at IIC includes classroom lectures, tutorials, project assignments, seminars and presentations, where each student has his or her own terminal with Internet facility. IIC graduates have been well placed in leading IT companies.
The MSc Informatics programme is a unique blend of networking, telecommunication and software development, built on a foundation of electronics, mathematical fundamentals and other core aspects of computing.
