Why Choose This Course?
  1. Many of our graduates have secured places in local universities upon graduation. Our students enjoy good advanced standing of between 1 – 2 years of course exemption from local and many foreign universities for relevant degree programmes. We also have a preparatory programme with NUS which allows students with good academic achievements to gain a more direct entry to pursue B.Comp in Computer Science, Information Systems or Electronic Commerce with a specialisation in Information Security. You will have many opportunities to work on real-life security projects during your final year internship programme which lasts up to 35 weeks. Our students have gained much experience from internships with companies like MHA, SPF, IBM, Symantec, ST Electronics (Info-Security) and KPMG. You will obtain more than a diploma. The course also prepares you to acquire Industry Certifications such as Cisco Certified Network Associates (CCNA) and Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT). These certifications are highly sought after by employers. Many of our students have achieved both certifications even before they graduate.

  2. This Course will equip you with the technical, social and ethical knowledge and skills to analyse, design, implement and manage information security solutions, policies and practices.

  3. Cyber Security professionals are always in high demand locally and globally due to increasing cyber security needs in the face of rising cyber crime rates. In fact, the Singapore government has set up an IT Security Master plan to groom Security Professionals. You can expect a rewarding career with many private and public organisations.

  4. You will learn information security subjects which include information assurance, network and systems security, e-commerce and application security, computer forensics, intrusion prevention and ethical hacking. These subjects will provide you with the technical competency, industry standards and best practices to combat cyber crime and protect information in organisations.

  5. We have a team of experienced and caring lecturers who have come from the industry and have post-graduate qualifications as well as training in pedagogy to give their best to students as well as realise the best in their students.
