Diploma in Information & Communication Technology with a specialism in Interactive Technology

Computer Science & IT
Overview

In Malaysia, "Interactive Technology" isn't typically offered as a standalone "Foundation Programme" route. Instead, its core concepts are usually integrated into broader "Foundation in Computing & Technology," "Foundation in Multimedia," or "Foundation in Digital Media" programs.

These one-year pre-university courses aim to equip SPM/O-Level holders with foundational skills for degrees focusing on user experience (UX/UI), game development, virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), web design, and digital content creation.

The curriculum often includes introductory programming, digital design principles, multimedia applications, web technologies, and potentially basic 3D modeling. Strong emphasis is placed on creativity, problem-solving, and visual communication. Malaysian institutions, some with dedicated XR studios, provide hands-on learning environments. Graduates gain MQA-accredited qualifications, ensuring progression to relevant bachelor's degrees and preparing them for the dynamic and evolving interactive media and technology industries.
