Quest International University (QIU) has fostered a strategic partnership with Beijing Institution of Technology (BIT) in China to offer a 4-year Dual Award Degree Programme in Computer Science. Students who enrolled on this programme will study at QIU for their first two years, and then continue to pursue their studies at BIT in China for the remaining two years. Upon successful completion of the programme, the graduates will be awarded a Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons) degree from QIU and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Technology degree from BIT.
QIU is a private comprehensive university and it has over a decade of experience in producing industry-ready graduates by using highly effective motivational teaching methods. While BIT is a
research-led university with a strong focus on science and technology, ranked 3rd in the Science and Technology Universities Ranking in China 2020 published by CUAA. The partnership between QIU and BIT offers a unique learning experience where the students can study in different countries to gain new perspectives and opportunities.
The Dual Award Degree Programme focuses on the study of scientific and theoretical computing knowledge in analysing, modelling, designing, developing and evaluating computing solutions; and understanding the interplay between theory and practice of computer science and the essential links between them. A major highlight of the programme is its unique state-of-the-art curriculum that allows students to learn different facets of the industry and hands-on techniques under the supervision of experienced academics.
In addition, the programme also incorporates various soft skills such as teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking into the teaching and learning process as part of the curriculum delivery. This will permit the graduates to adapt to new technologies and ideas in computing work; derive innovative ways to solve computing problems; devise new ways of using computers; develop software; plan and manage organizational technology infrastructure. Ultimately, the programme aims to produce job-ready graduates which will be highly demanded in the industry.
