Department Chair's Foreword

"Selamat Datang" to The Department of Computing Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS

The Department of Computing focuses on moving technology education and research forward. Over the years, we've grown steadily and kept improving the way our students learn and experience university life. Our goal is to power digital advancements through transformative education and collaborative research, preparing learners not just for careers, but for lifelong success and meaningful impact.

With a diverse team of passionate lecturers, modern facilities, and a supportive environment, we encourage creativity, innovation, and ethical practice. By working across disciplines and engaging with industry and communities, we create breakthrough computing solutions and ethical AI systems that help tackle global challenges e.g. energy security, sustainable living, and regenerative futures. We strive to explore new ideas and contribute to technologies that can support industry growth and benefit society.

We proudly offer accredited undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, which are regularly reviewed by an industry expert panel. Our three undergraduate programmes have achieved accreditation under the Seoul Accord, a prestigious multilateral agreement that recognises the global quality of computing and IT-related degree programmes. With signatories from Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States, this accreditation positions our graduates within an internationally recognised framework of excellence. Through continuous evaluation and constructive stakeholder feedback, we also remain committed to strengthening our standing in global and national benchmarks, including the QS World University Ranking & Malaysian MyRA​.

Students choose our University for many reasons, and central to this is our aspiration to power digital advancements through transformative education and collaborative research. We prepare students not only with strong foundations in computing and ethical AI, but also with the skills of technopreneurship, leadership, professionalism, and social responsibility.

Our holistic approach extends beyond the classroom through an 8-month internship programme, field trips, adjunct lecturer engagements, external examiner assessments, and international student exchanges, ensuring meaningful industry exposure and global perspectives.

The strength of our community is reflected in our growing alumni network, which includes leaders of organisations and successful entrepreneurs who contribute to industry, society, and the future of technology. During their journey with us, our students also cultivate personal growth through university activities, clubs, charity events, and lifelong friendships. We look forward to offering you the same opportunities to achieve your ambitions and to play a part in shaping a more sustainable, digitally empowered future.
