The academic programs of the University were crafted to develop a total persona. Students are provided with general and specialized knowledge, development of humane values and ethics, and yearning for lifelong learning. Moreover, the curricular programs provide for flexibility in terms of choice of courses, modularity of courses, multi-point entry and exit, horizontal and vertical mobility, interdisciplinary movement and a combination of classroom, laboratory work, technology invention and patenting.
All curricula have four critical foci:
1. Market orientation: In different modules and sets, all courses are to meet the needs of students and guardians regarding employability;
2 Accreditation: The credits and certificates are “pegged” to overseas qualifications and recognition. The current trend of credit transfer and joint degree is leading to a perception of “academic hostage” as was experienced in Malaysia and Singapore. The same practice can be seen here. The UITS proposes another approach, which is of seeking overseas recognition of the program and the course modules by adopting a significant part of overseas syllabi and course monitoring. The UITS constantly collaborates with national and international institutions to adapt and modify its course structure and contents.
3 Multi-credential approach: Students require “saleable knowledge and skills, thus the University awards different levels of certificates and diplomas with the same vertical degree protocol, culminating in four-year bachelor’s degree within the same cost and time. The theoretical structure of a four-year program is illustrated in Figure 1.
4 Recognition of previous learning and national talent: In order to encourage national talent in IT entrepreneurship, management and human relation, there is provision to recognize prior learning as well as individual initiative in scholarship and practicum.
5 Industry/Commerce recognition: The UITS fosters direct links and inputs from trade and industry and their association into course work/projects and practices. The university also undertakes tailored courses for industrial and commercial manpower to fulfill its policy obligation. Some of these courses may be incorporated in the University’s graduate and post-graduate programs.
