UC Graduate
Studies Catalog 2019-2023 Section XVI Science and
Technology Programs |
|
In various forms,
science and technology have played a pre-eminent role in the development of all
major civilizations. This has particularly been the case in the past century,
and together they promise to be of ever-increasing importance for our lives in
the present century.
As with the rest of
the world, the use of Information Technology is a key for Cambodia's future
development and integration into the international community. To this end, we
offer a program which will benefit participants in pursuing this endeavor. The effective development and use of an effective
IT infrastructure is dependent on those with a knowledge of computer systems
and communication systems; other programs offered by the College of Science and Technology provide
a means for students in these fields to develop their knowledge and
understanding of recent developments.
Students with a
graduate degree from the College of Science and Technology can find ready
employment in almost any area of computer use: managing networks, developing
software solutions, or designing systems for organizations, businesses, and
government institutions as well as in teaching.
To this end, we
offer the following Master’s degrees:
Computers are
central to modern society’s need to deal with a variety of problems. Mostly,
this involves designing software (computer programs) but it also involves many
aspects of hardware and integrating large computer networks that form the
infrastructure of commercial and government enterprises. The present program concentrates on computer and network hardware
systems, their design and management, and programming principles and languages.
(a) The following program structure applies for
existing Master’s students, based on a previous MoEYS
directive (see Section VIII.3).
